Enter the Conversation: The Dawning Moon of the Mind

Join us for “The Dawning Moon of the Mind: Unlocking the Pyramid Texts,” part of our Enter the Conversation series, which invites world leaders, journalists, activists, and other top thinkers to discuss the most pressing, topical issues of our times.

The Very Reverend Dr. James A. Kowalski welcomes Professor Robert Thurman, world renowned authority on religion and specifically Tibetan Buddhist philosophy, and author Susan Brind Morrow, for an in-depth exploration of Morrow’s radical new translation of one of the world’s earliest and most complex body of writing, the 4,000-year-old Pyramid Texts. More than twenty years in the making, The Dawning Moon of the Mind is a monumental achievement that delves into the origins of poetic and religious thought in western culture. Morrow’s stunning interpretation explores the relationship between time and eternity, life and death, humanity and nature. This conversation will look at the correlation between the earliest known hieroglyphs and their possible relationship to the foundations of Tibetan Buddhist philosophy and Christian mysticism.
