A Conversation with Author and Eco-psychologist Glenn Aparicio Parry

“When we shift our’ c-ing from fear to love, we move from scared to sacred.”
-- Swami Beyondananda

Does America have a sacred purpose?

Yes, says Front and Center guest Glenn Aparicio Parry, and that purpose can be found in the largely untold story of America’s Native American roots, and the influence these established indigenous cultures have had on our system of governance, and our sensibilities about rights and freedoms.

In these highlights from our longer interview with eco-psychologist and author (Original Politics:  America’s Sacred Purpose) Glenn Aparicio Parry, you’ll hear the story of how the first English settlers in Plymouth got a surprise greeting from Algonquin tribesman Samoset in March 1621, and how that Native influence persisted for 150 years.  You’ll also hear about the remarkable meeting between Benjamin Franklin and Iroquois chief Canasatego on JULY 4th … 1744, that changed the course of history.

Finally, you’ll learn how this forgotten history points us to our true “sacred purpose” – finding unity in diversity, not just diverse colors and genders, but diverse beliefs and worldviews, and how what Aparicio Parry calls “sacred mayonnaise” can bring out the most functional aspects of “progressive” and “conservative.”
