Two things you ought to know: 1) Lee's microphone broke this week and 2) Lee had far too much coffee before recording this episode.

Have you done your homework? Don't worry if you haven't, because neither has Lee.

Lee was not in a good way this week! His back was giving him a very hard time and a bag of frozen peas was hastily arranged to get him through the recording.

It's all about 'proliferation' this week. It's time to transcend our original impulses and move on to a new "age", just like the title suggests.

Have you actually tried to be exclusively 'in the now'? It's really hard, and Lee is very keen to point that out to Neil.

When this podcast began, we all agreed that it was a journey we'd be going on together, so the 25th episode is as good a time as any to have a quick reflection on how the practice itself is going!
