Ancient Intelligence

This is the Ancient Intelligence Podcast, a show that explores the fundamental ancient dynamics that exist between men and women. With the technology and automation of our world, our human nature remains fully intact. The constant question on my heart is what is the ultimate harmony that can be achieved between men and women and how do we get there? We explore culture, history, society, evolutionary psychology, biology, religious and spiritual teachings, and more.
