Uprooting The Experience Of Normality (VIDEO)

On this edition James speaks with philosopher and esotericist Neil Kramer on the relationships between empire, education, and the modern psyche. Kramer argues that the world is at an important crossroads where people increasingly question their misplaced faith in traditional institutions and the experiences they seek to govern. Today human beings are commensurately discovering their own power as individuals, and using this empowerment to question the collectivist ideas and attitudes fostered by today’s mass media and schooling.

Neil Kramer’s research, writing and multimedia endeavors focus on spirituality, mysticism, and metaphysics. He explores the relationship between inner development and the many social and cultural factors that influence our everyday lives. Kramer emphasizes embracing truth and confronting the negative in a journey to transform self.

Kramer is faculty at the Omega Institute in New York, where he teaches philosophy, mysticism, esoteric studies, and self development. He is a popular guest on leading alternative radio and internet shows, as well as TV networks in the US, Canada, Britain, and Europe.

Neil Kramer was born and educated in the UK. He spent many years working in the software industry, before finally devoting himself full-time to philosophy and mysticism.
