This is the first of six episodes of a documentary based on Jeff Kripal’s definitive history Esalen: America and the Religion of No Religion and filmed by Jones Cinema Arts about the legendary Esalen Institute and the Human Potential Movement it spawned. Beautifully filmed, those interviewed in the first episode include Jeff Kripal, Richard Tarnas, Nora Bateson, Russell Targ, Elizabeth Rauscher, Nick Herbert, Charles Tart, and of course Michael Murphy, co-founder of The Esalen Institute. Philosopher and computer engineer Bernardo Kastrup has written several books in his own attempt to understand the nature of reality. In How Anyone Can Understand The True Nature Of Reality he provides a how-to guide through his works, including his bestseller Why Materialism Is Baloney. He doesn’t pull punches. (PH)
