#47 Dr Lawrence Blair | One of the Last Real Explorers... Consciousness in Nature & Other Intrigues

Wow Lawrence has lived just about the most extraordinary life one could imagine!!!

Growing up in the prim and proper world of post-war England, his family moved to the wild and ancient Mexico in his teen years.

To continue their departure from the 'norm', Lawrence, now with a doctorate in psycho-anthropolgy under his belt, and his late brother, Lorne, made their way to the exceedingly exotic Indonesia.

Over the next decade they did it all! 
6 months at sea with pirates? check.
3 months living with a long-lost nomadic tribe in uncharted (literally) jungle?? check.
And that's not to mention the tribe of cannibalistic headhunters whose last most recent 'kill' was a famous US statesman!!!

I could not be more deadset serious when I say that the 4-part doco series 'Ring of Fire: An Indonesian Odyssey' which captured these adventures stands as the most enthralling, awe-inspiring, and unfathomable films I have ever watched.

Anyways, I had sooo many questions going in and we were limited to an hour so we brushed through loads of topics but boy was it fascinating.
