Welcome to 3 Brothers Quest #20!
QUEST GUESTS
Meet Sajay Samuel and Dougald Hine, who have spent their professional lives (among many other projects) illuminating the work of Ivan Illich. Austrian Catholic priest, author, philosopher, teacher, and social critic, Illich described himself as an “errant pilgrim,” and advocated for a radical reconceptualization of civilization in an age of dehumanization brought on by modern systems, suggesting a return to small scale values – tools, friendship, family, community, and the uniqueness of each human as an embodied being. Our three-way conversation explores Illich’s legacy, and considers Illich’s approach as a teacher, his emphasis on tools over systems, his critique of Christianity as a devout Christian, and his call for genuine friendship in an impersonal age dominated by Rules and Systems. Afterwards, join the Baldwin brothers – Ian, Michael, and Philip – for their fraternal reflections on this 3 Brothers Quest episode.
QUEST MAP
Widely considered one of the 20th century's most vital yet underappreciated philosophers, Ivan Illich’s legacy can be found in his wide-ranging critiques of modern institutions, including institutionalized “health care,” “public schools,” and organized religion. Illich called for dismantling pervasive and impersonal institutional bureaucracies in favor of a more decentralized, small scale, human-centered existence, and promoted what he called “conviviality” – tools for self-reliance, community, and friendship – as well as playfully advocating for “sober drunkenness” and a radical reorientation towards living as unique and sovereign embodied beings, rather than rule-bound subjects of impersonal systems.

QUEST GUESTS
Meet Mark Finser and John Bloom, who have spent their professional lives diving deep into the world of Anthroposophy and Rudolf Steiner. Building on episode #12, our first Steiner conversation, our second exploration of Steiner explores his notions of the Luciferic and Ahrimanic, and a third balancing force - the Christ - marked by what Steiner called the mystery of Golgotha. We also consider human spiritual evolution, and the emerging influence of “Artificial Intelligence” on human destiny. Afterwards, join the Baldwin brothers – Ian, Michael, and Philip – for their fraternal reflections on this 3 Brothers Quest episode.
QUEST MAP
Widely considered one of the 20th century's most vital and important philosophers, Steiner left myriad legacies, including the Anthroposophical Society in America, and made pioneering contributions in the fields of education, agriculture, architecture, literature, philosophy, and spiritual teaching. Steiner believed that humans once participated more fully in spiritual processes of the world through a dreamlike consciousness, but have, in modern materialistic times, become restricted by their attachment to material things. The renewed perception of spirituality, Steiner believed, required training the human consciousness to rediscover the spiritual dimensions of reality."

Welcome to 3 Brothers Quest!
Join the Baldwin Brothers – Ian, Michael and Philip – as together and in person from a Vermont kitchen table, they reflect on 3BQ’s origins and meta themes, sharing their own journeys that brought them together for this project. Listen in as they pose fundamental questions about humanity’s mysterious origins story, exploring the search for meaning, the tension between the “rational” and the “intuitive,” what it means to be a “human being,” the illusory nature of “progress,” how we move to replace “cruelty” with “kindness” and “compassion,” and the promises and perils of our future in an age of AI and transhumanism.

QUEST GUEST
Enjoy our first 3BQ conversation with Jeremy Narby here.
Author of “The Cosmic Serpent: DNA and the Origins of Knowledge,” “Intelligence in Nature,” and co-editor of Shamans Through Time (with Francis Huxley), Jeremy Narby is an anthropologist who has been working as Amazonian Projects Coordinator for the Swiss NGO “Nouvelle Planète” since 1990. “I began working as an activist and fundraiser for Indigenous initiatives in the Amazon, and as an independent anthropologist I also tried to make sense of the Amazonian point of view. So this led me some 25 years ago to start looking into domains like biology, botany, and neurology. At the time it was already clear that biology confirms human kinship with other species and that all living beings are genetically related. Scientists were starting to document intelligent behavior in all kinds of living organisms. The more science looked at the intricacies of the natural world, the more intelligence it seemed to find.This encouraged me to look into intelligence in nature, a subject that concerned both science and Indigenous knowledge. In the early 2000s, I interviewed scientists in different countries who were working on this subject, only to find that there was a basic problem with words.” Afterwards, join the Baldwin brothers – Ian, Michael, and Philip – for their fraternal reflections on this 3 Brothers Quest episode.

Welcome to 3 Brothers Quest #14!
QUEST GUEST
Meet Dr. Rupert Sheldrake, an English biologist and author of two dozen books and hundreds of peer-reviewed scientific papers. His pioneering work on "morphic resonance," suggesting that nature self-organizes via habits of memory ("the presence of the past") rather than immutable "natural laws," has provoked global curiosity as well as condemnation from mainstream mechanistic scientists.
In this one hour conversation, we explore the theory of "morphic resonance," its implications for deepening our understanding of both human behavior and our natural world, and how imagining "reality" as a living, breathing set of fields transforms our understanding of nature and the human experience.
Afterwards, join the Baldwin brothers – Ian, Michael, and Philip – for their fraternal reflections on this 3 Brothers Quest episode.

An anthropologist, linguist, historian, peasant farmer, and spiritual seeker, Enna Reittort is the author of “Krivda: The Godtrix Versus The Matrix,” and “Broody Blue: A Handbook of Ruthless Gentleness for the Natural Human Mystic.” “A Human Being, fiercely and tenderly in love with Lady Earth, I am devoted to our human co-evolving bond with her, and endlessly exploring what it means to be human,” Enna Reittort muses. “As an anthropologist, I lean into traditional cultures and grassroots wisdom. After ten years in an esoteric caste-denying Indian subculture, I left my academic PhD behind to go barefoot as an aspiring peasant in the spirit of regenerative farming. Perhaps this is ‘deep’ anthropology, experiential rather than theoretical, and in apprenticeship to Nature, the greatest teacher whose language our subtle bodies can understand better than our restless minds.” Our second 3BQ conversation with Enna Reittort explores her path to becoming a “natural human mystic,” and introduces our 3BQ community to her provocative book “Krivda: The Godtrix Versus The Matrix.” Afterwards, join the Baldwin brothers – Ian, Michael, and Philip – for their fraternal reflections on this 3 Brothers Quest episode.

“You are invited here to the most discreet of ways – one hardly known at all in the western world. A simple way of non-practices, the way of our true nature. It is already inside you, breathing the spirit that breathes you. It has been waiting for you to heed your own call,” Enna Reittort observes of her handbook. “Its attitude of non-doing subtly cuts through spiritualistic and mechanistic complications of a culture that destroys both humans and their Earth. The natural human mystic who is already in you was stolen from you lifetime after lifetime. But it still beckons into the subtle vastness of you, in this very lifetime. It beckons urgently, just in case the theft were to become final.” Visit https://ennareittort.info for more information and resources on your quest.

What is the anatomy of human creativity and human destructiveness — the root of the invisible influences, both individual and collective, which can both create and destroy civilization?

Author of “Fingerprints of the Gods: The Evidence of Earth’s Lost Civilization,” “Visionary: The Definitive Edition of Supernatural,” and many other books, and host of the popular Netflix documentary series “Ancient Apocalypse,” Graham Hancock is a journalist of pre-history whose travels across the globe have unearthed evidence of mysterious, lost civilizations dating back to the last Ice Age. “Consciousness – we all have it, yet it’s one of the greatest mysteries of science,” muses Hancock. “Exactly what it is, how it works, what it’s for, and what its implications are for our understanding of ‘reality,’ remain matters of speculation, not of fact.” Our 3BQ conversation with Graham Hancock, recorded in Concord, Massachusetts, USA’s Colonial Hotel, explores the Younger Dryas hypothesis, the “ancient apocalypse,” the possibility of a “technology transfer” from the remnants of advanced civilizations to early human civilizations, and what ancient sacred sites like the Egyptian Sphinx and Gobekli Tepe reveal about the origins of human civilizations, which are perhaps much older than the official archaeological story suggests.

QUEST GUEST
Author of “The Secret History of the World,” “The Sacred History: How Angels, Mystics, and Higher Intelligence Made our World,” and other books, Mark Booth specializes in researching and writing about the history of the esoteric. “As a publisher, I'm always trying to find that thing that has never been said before, a new use of language that fizzes and crackles on the page, to give a voice to people who haven't had a voice before,” Booth explains. “I'm fascinated by the new technology and the changes in consciousness that come with it. Because I work…at the commercial end of the business, I always look for clarity. I also find ideas for books often come to me as jokes. I think, ‘Wouldn't it be funny if someone published a book called this' - and then 'Why not?' If a book is going to annoy a lot of people, it is - in my experience - probably a good idea.” Our 3BQ conversation with Mark Booth explores the significance of the “mystery schools’ in Western history – their raison d’etre, influence, and what it may have felt like to be a participant in an ancient mystery school.
