Spiritual Activism: Donald Trump and the second sight | Alastair McIntosh | TEDxFindhornSalon

NOTE FROM TED: We’ve flagged this talk, which was filmed at a TEDx event, because it appears to fall outside TEDx’s curatorial guidelines. The speaker makes claims about psychology, consciousness, and second sight that are based on the speaker’s own views and experiences and are not supported by legitimate scientific evidence. TEDx events are independently organized by volunteers. The guidelines we give organizers are described in more detail here: http://storage.ted.com/tedx/manuals/t... Scottish academic Prof Alastair McIntosh grew up on the same island as Donald Trump's mother and in this interesting talk, he shows how the history of the Scottish Clearances may have had an effect on President Trump's upbringing and personality. Professor Alastair McIntosh works for progressive change from the standpoint of both the outer and the inner life. His work for environmental protection, social change and spiritual insight into our times has been described as “world-changing”, “life-changing” and “inspirational” by bishops, pop stars, and even politicians. The author of Soil and Soul, his most recent books are Spiritual Activism and Poacher’s Pilgrimage.” This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
