Christ in the Clouds: A meditation on form, balance, and the etheric Christ
The formation of clouds is an interesting meditation on what an alchemist would call the lawfulness of the becoming of form, or what Goethe called the Archetype.

Living earth : Living climate
In this lecture Dennis uses the two polar principles of form and function to illustrate ways to imagine the Earth as a living being in contrast to seeing Earth as simply a resource.
