In this episode, David explores:

  • The classic paradigm of Heaven and Earth, our highest aspirations and our day-to-day practicalities, as a way to frame our journeys
  • The role that humanity plays in this paradigm and what the path of the warrior truly means
  • How mindfulness meditation is the primary tool we can use for joining Heaven and Earth and finding balance in our lives

“Earth is nothing but obstacles, actually, from the point of view of Heaven. It’s just a clump of obstacles. But from the point of view of joining Heaven and Earth, it’s a clump of obstacles that actually can be manifested as opportunities for joining Heaven and Earth.” – David Nichtern
