Philosophy. If you are turned down by the word, don't waste too much time on this post.
But if, like me, you see in Philosophy an art that we need more than ever in today's world, you are about to have a goooooooood time.
Meet William Cunningham (IG profile: wjcunn1ngham), a professor in philosophy and ethics at The University of Notre Dame Australia, a brazilian šŸ‡§šŸ‡· jiu-jitsu instructor and a man in life-style transition - from urban to nature.
This episode is unique.
In the 32 episodes of the podcast, I always took the time to deep dive into the life of each pf my guests. At the end, the audience and I felt we knew each guest better, sometimes intimately.
At the end of THIS episode, I still had no clue about Will's life. But I had the feeling I knew him very closely. Like a long-time friend.
This is the power of great connections.
We dived directly into a conversation about touching the Sacred and we journeyed from that point, in a free and deep flow, full of joy and mutual care.
Here are some of the things we talked about:
šŸ‘Ŗ What we believe in is vastly inherited
ā“ Being open to questioning our beliefs is a critical skill to a fulfilling existence
šŸ”Ø Experiencing is key. Thinking alone leads nowhere
šŸ™ Gratitude is a super power
ā›°ļø Plato's cave myth is a very useful story to understand key dimensions of life
ā¤ļø I think therefore I am (Descartes) -> I love therefore I am
And MUCH MUCH MORE šŸ¤©šŸ¤©šŸ¤©!!!
I often say that the most difficult battle and deep desire in my life is to truly LOVE myself.
At the end of the episode, I was thinking that maybe my true desire is to LIVE myself.
It was a fascinating conversation. Dive into it with the curiosity and joy of an explorer.
ENJOY TO THE MAX šŸ¤©šŸ¤©šŸ¤©!!!
