Sounds like he is right up there with Loren Eiseley! I've reserved The Spell of the Sensuous at the library. By removing ourselves from this sensuous realm, we have lost the connection to "the living dream that we share with the soaring hawk, the spider, and the stone silently sprouting lichens on its coarse surface."

I did n't know very much about the Cathars before - and can certainly resonate with the struggle to transcend the world of duality. One could drive oneself nuts thinking about such things. Currently reading 'The Spell of the Sensuous' by David Abram - which talks about our loss of felt connection through the body with the material world. Fascinating - tho can't get beyond the first few chapters as difficult to exercise my brain last thing at night, and keep falling asleep. thank you – the video is fabulous, very moving,and instantly struck a chord with me (must be some past life !?)
