Welcome to the final instalment of our dialogue with Edi Bilimoria, author of the stunning 1200 page work Unfolding Consciousness. This is the second part of our dialogue exploring Book three entitled - Gazing through the Telescope – Man is the Measure of All Things.
As with all the conversations in this series, we have done our best to make this audio friendly. However, I encourage you to watch this on Youtube if you can or at least check out the diagrams in the video when you have listened.

Thank you for listening to this Edi Bilimoria series. I hope as an Shepheard Walwyn podcast listener you’ll agree that as a publisher we are committed to encouraging different voices and perspectives. For example, Phil Anderson and Fred Harrison on economic cycles, John Butler on spiritual practice. We think Edi’s work as I hope you’ve experienced in this series has the potential to change the dialogue in so many areas, most significantly perhaps, in the interaction between science and spirituality and a reappraisal and reintroduction of our ancient wisdom traditions into our discourse on how to add meaning to our existence.
If you have listened to this series of conversations with Edi then I hope you feel ready to make the investment in his magnus opus. It’s taken 6 months to complete these recordings. I think I am on the third or fourth reading of each of the books and they still feel like I am reading them for the first time as there’s so much new wisdom to consider on each successive reading. My conviction is that even if you much more awareness with the perennial philosophy you’ll have a similar experience.
So for the last time with Edi at least thank you for listening to the Shepheard Walwyn podcast. Be sure to connect with us at shepheardwalwyn.com and join our mailing list for updates and special offers. And if you feel it’s appropriate give us a like wherever you get your podcasts and on YT too.
So until next time keep reading!
