The power of imagination

I'm reading Ken Robinson's excellent book "The Element" at the moment and I came across this statement this morning which seemed to relate to our recent discussions about sharing transatlantic perceptions:

"We don't just see the world as it is; we interpret it through the particular ideas and beliefs that have shaped our own cultures and our personal outlook. All of these stand between us and our raw experiences on the world, acting as a filter on what we perceive and how we think."

I'm really excited by the idea of exchanging beliefs, either in the form of podcasts or even skype enabled webcasts. Let me know how far you've got with your planning so we can shape something together.
