Maps for the Soul: Navigating Life's Greatest Mysteries - with Dr. Miles Neale


Listen Later

"Life is a treacherous puzzle to try to solve with one quick stroke of genius."


Sah is joined by Buddhist psychotherapist and visionary thinker Dr. Miles Neale for a mind-expanding exploration of life's greatest mysteries. As the author of "Return with Elixir: Four Maps for the Soul's Pilgrimage Through Death and Rebirth," Miles weaves together ancient wisdom traditions with modern psychology to illuminate the path of transformation.

Through profound dialogue, they dive deep into the Bodhisattva's dilemma—how do we navigate the overwhelming desire to help all beings while accepting our human limitations? Miles shares revolutionary insights about integrating Buddhist psychology, Western neuroscience, and the healing power of pilgrimage to create a new paradigm for spiritual awakening.

This episode challenges conventional approaches to enlightenment, offering a fresh perspective on combining ancient wisdom with modern therapeutic techniques. From exploring the shadow sides of social justice movements to understanding the cyclical nature of civilization, Miles provides a roadmap for navigating these complex times with wisdom and grace.

Whether you're on a spiritual path, interested in the intersection of Buddhism and psychology, or simply seeking deeper meaning in these uncertain times, this conversation offers profound insights about embracing the mystery of existence while staying grounded in practical wisdom.
