Show Notes

In this episode, which originally aired in radio format in two parts on March 31st and April 7th, 2022, I explore some of the ideas presented in the 1957 book, The Divine Milieu, by French Jesuit priest, scientist, paleontologist, theologian, philosopher and teacher, Pierre Teilhard de Chardin. Topics include but are not limited to: the divinisation of our activities (the things that we make happen), the divinisation of our passivities (the things that happen to us),  the notion of a Cosmic Christ and how we create Him by meeting our own highest potential, and "passivities of growth" and "passivities of diminishment." I also talk a good deal about the alpinist Marc-André Leclerc.
