CLASSIC REBOOT: Coping With Tragedy with Pierre Grimes

Pierre Grimes, PhD, is a specialist in classical Greek philosophy. He is the founder of the American Philosophical Practitioners Association. He is also founder of the Noetic Society in the Los Angeles area. He is author of Philosophical Midwifery: A New Paradigm for Understanding Human Problems, Socrates and Jesus: A Dialogue in Heaven, and Unblocking: Removing Blocks to Understanding. He is also a decorated veteran of the second world war.

In this video from 2017, he suggests that the human condition has always been tragic and will remain so -- because all humans carry within themselves a burden of unrecognized rage and false beliefs. The best way to cope with tragedy, he maintains, is to engage in a process of illuminating and modifying these false beliefs that he defines as "pathologos". As an exemplar of possible heroic transformation he describes Achilles' change of heart in Homer's Iliad.

New Thinking Allowed host, Jeffrey Mishlove, PhD, is author of The Roots of Consciousness, Psi Development Systems, and The PK Man. Between 1986 and 2002 he hosted and co-produced the original Thinking Allowed public television series. He is the recipient of the only doctoral diploma in "parapsychology" ever awarded by an accredited university (University of California, Berkeley, 1980). He is also the Grand Prize winner of the 2021 Bigelow Institute essay competition regarding the best evidence for survival of human consciousness after permanent bodily death.
