Content notes (or transcription) from beginning of the recording: Side One: What does "opening the door" mean I wondered when I got the program. I think of Pandora of Greek mythology. She had all the gifts, but was given a box which she must not open. But she does open it and out of it comes all the evils which afflict humanity ever since. Only one thing left in the box, a gift. That gift is hope! A similar story is Adam & Eve in the garden, where they must not eat from one tree. Side Two: I hope to propose a way to see the universe and our place in it which will enable us to launch our journey of renewal and discovery, growing ever deeper in hope while dealing with the risks too.
