This episode of the Sheldrake-Vernon Dialogues continues Rupert
and Mark's exploration of Dante’s Divine Comedy, taking a lead
from Mark’s book, Dante’s Divine Comedy: A Guide for the
Spiritual Journey. Dante is now guided by Beatrice through the
heavenly spheres and into the Empyrean. It is a journey into the
abundance of infinity and eternity, which immediately struck
Rupert as akin to a DMT trip. Mark and Rupert explore how that is
an apt analogy with Dante enabling us to incorporate the
visionary into everyday life and understand how deeper
perceptions of being can inform different times and cultures. The
conversation moves over the relationship between the one and the
many, the universal message of Christianity, the ways in which
love and intellect work in tandem, and how Dante can aid various
quests for knowledge today.

Dr Mark Vernon is a writer and psychotherapist. He contributes to
programmes on the radio, writes and reviews for newspapers and
magazines, gives talks and podcasts. His books have covered
themes including friendship and God, ancient Greek philosophy and
wellbeing. He has a PhD in ancient Greek philosophy, and other
degrees in physics and in theology, and works as a
psychotherapist in private practice. He used to be an Anglican
priest.
