EDITORIAL

This week we've been publishing for a month and we've reached our first 100 subscribers! Thank you again for your support and interest. 

In our feature article this week we review Ridley Scott's 1982 sci-fi noir masterpiece Blade Runner from the point of view of the Gnostic spirituality of Philip K. Dick, the author of the novel that the film was based on. One great gifts that Philip K. Dick offers is not only the opportunity to view spiritual experience from the point of view of a modern man in crisis but also his ability to project his mind forward and use not only modern symbols but also predict (quite accurately it has turned out), symbolic structures and forms to come. 

We also looked at what it means to be a good leader, how to create space to let problems solve themselves, how microscopic and macroscopic perspectives can help humanity achieve a more harmonious relationship with the environment and by inverting the story in Stevie Smith's poem Not Waving, Drowning, what a connected, loving life looks like and how to know when we've drifted too far away from connection.
