To secular science and anthropology, the fear of death is perhaps the most primal, instinctive, and universal motivator among all living beings. And yet, philosophy, mythology, and literature inform us of the immortal Truth expressed in the words of William Wallace: "Every man dies. Not every man really lives." The implication being that countless beings risk life and limb for some cause, some purpose beyond themselves which ultimately gives their life meaning. A drive which is so powerful and potent that it overrides the primal self-preservation instinct with the supernal knowledge, "if I do not do X, life is not worth living." That is all well and good for contemporary action heroes, mythic, and near-mythic characters alike. But what about us? How do the forces rallying for our inspiration and against our expiration translate into the mundane, practical, day-to-day choices confronting us? And does this apparent dichotomy conflict with the Zen Buddhist tenet, "Before enlightenment; chop wood, carry water. After enlightenment; chop wood, carry water.” Join us Sunday April 2nd at 2pm EDT as we look to the relationship between inspiration and expiration, and how to make best use of their interaction on the road to fulfilling our destiny (that which gives our life meaning; makes life worth living).
