This is not a topic I normally talk about, i.e., what was the spiritual and psychological evolution that led to my engagement with and for P2P? In seven minutes, invited by the Pecha Kucha organizers in Rio de Janeiro, I am here trying to follow automatically amd fast-changing slide images, speaking quite fast to keep up and summarize a life-time, leading to the ‘p2p’ moment of existential engagement. Call it the spiritual background, from the early confusion of a very unhappy young man, through spiritual explorations east and west, the dark night of the soul, and the p2p engagement of a “twice-born” individual (that last concept is from William James, in Varieties of Religious Experience).
