<p>This week’s episode is a spontaneous conversation recorded on the fly after we realised something meaningful was unfolding. Using our little mobile mics, we dive deep into what feels like the heart of our times: the alienation from our true nature and the longing to return to it.</p><p>We explore the question at the root of both personal and civilizational crisis: <em>what happens when we forget the ground of our being?</em> From meditation and self-inquiry to the pitfalls of belief and the hunger for direct experience, we trace how disconnection gives rise to confusion, and how remembrance restores clarity.</p><p>Along the way, we touch on Paul Kingsnorth, Simone Weil, Jordan Peterson, postmodernism, the collapse (or renewal) of civilization, and the deeper rhythm beneath it all — destruction and rebirth, ignorance and awakening.</p><p>It’s an unpolished, wide-ranging dialogue about truth, consciousness, and the mystery of what’s really going on in our world… and in us.</p><p><em>Listen in, reflect, and perhaps remember what’s already whole.</em></p><p><em>Enjoy.</em></p><p>Recorded: 30th October 2025</p><p>Imogen’s website - <a target="_blank" href="https://beyondimogen.com/">beyondimogen.com</a></p><p>Martyn’s website - <a target="_blank" href="https://martynwebber.com/">martynwebber.com</a></p><p><p>This Substack is reader-supported.
