Frank White | Citizens of the Universe 0
Feb 8, 2019

Frank White is a Space Philosopher, author, and Instructor at the Harvard Extension School. He published the first edition of The Overview Effect in 1987 and I read it about a decade ago. Years later, a short documentary was created, called Overview, to articulate the essence of the book. A few years later they created a full documentary, called Planetary that expanded on the nature and opportunity of the Overview Effect. 

 
That book and two films have influenced me profoundly. Frank’s “language” is part of the fabric of my being at this point. That body of work played a major role in inspiring me to create this podcast a few years ago. 
 
In late 2016, I contacted Frank through the Harvard website, just to express my gratitude for his influence in my life. A few months later, he responded and said we should chat sometime. We did, and we’ve had a beautiful relationship since. We talk once or twice a month and I’m so grateful to have a friendship like this with one of my heroes. 
 
I love Frank’s perspective and his approach to life. His thoughts on us being “citizens of the universe on Spaceship Earth” provide a beautiful investment in our perspective of our place in the universe. He’s helping to create a holistic “space philosophy” so we don’t repeat mistakes we’ve made in past explorations in ways like Columbus and other explorers did. With hindsight from that, we can now be more intentional. 
 
I hope you enjoy this heart-open, humanity soaked conversation with Frank White. He’s a true hero with a philosophy that can help us come back into alignment with one another, and our cosmos. Enjoy! 
The Meaning of Life 0
Feb 5, 2019
I’ve been writing notes down about this concept for a while. And I’ve been excited to share it with you. It feels like it’s largely the exposé of my full ethos on life. After writing it out and then reviewing it, I realize the weight of what I’ve articulated here. 
 
I know this is a pretty heady title. I was actually going to title this, Falling Away From Union, But I figured The Meaning of Life was probably a more effective headline. 
 
The following ideas are reflections of my ethos, my perspective, and my journey. It’s personal. And sharing it, for me, is risky.  At this point in my life, I’m ok with that. I talk about the importance of authenticity all the time. So here’s me revealing my most personal thoughts about, what I feel is the meaning of life. 
 
While in conversation with friends the other day, I worked my way into a point where I said, “wait a minute, I think I actually just figured out what I believe to be the meaning of life”. It’s not every day that happens, so I thought I’d share the thought process with you. 
 
In this episode, I discuss:
  • What (not who) is God?
  • What is sin? (or at least what does that Christian reference refer to?)
  • What is the opposite of love?
  • The role of the mind and our thoughts. 
  • And… What’s the meaning of life? 
When we ask the big questions like, “Who and I and why am I here”, we are going to end up in a discussion about “what is love”? I’m excited for you to join me on this journey!
