Spark My Muse

Have you had a Quarter-Life Crisis or a Mid-Life Crisis? Maybe, like me, you have an Identity Crisis every few years. If so, you are NOT alone and there are 4 (often hidden) reasons why.

This episode of Soul School goes into those factors and what can be done about it, and more. It should be helpful and I hope you will pass it along to others.

Thank you for coming along today to hear what I've cooked up on Spark My Muse. I'd love to hear from you.

"[Society] becomes oppressive because eventually the powerful decide the categories."

Today, I am joined by veteran podcaster, Josef Gustafsson to talk about a lot of interesting and thought-provoking ideas. We get into topics like what life is like in a Socialist Democracy (his native Sweden) in terms of religion and spiritual practice, forms of Christianity around the world and how they differ and how his spiritual and theological understanding developed, the nature of discovering truth and trying to find answering instead of shaping the questions, the democratizing technologies and cultures that topple old orders and birth new ideas, his newest project called "The Catacombic Machine", and more. Josef gives us an intriguing peek into a world we didn't know about.

The smartest people can become so cynical. I had been thinking about this sour disposition and the temptation to see the world as lost and terrible when I came upon Maria Popover's inspiring post "10 Lessons of Learn in 10 Years of Brain Pickings". It spurred me to do a Soul School as a reading of her 10th Lesson learned and my own reflection on the topic of cynicism. I hope you find that it gives you a big boost when the world seems bad, and much too dark, deadly and full of doom.

Check out the SHOW NOTES at SparkMyMuse.com to connect to Maria's fantastic article and send Maria (her Twitter handle is @brainpicker ) a shout out of congratulations for 10 amazing years and please ALSO ask her to Spark OUR muse on this show as my guest!!! #SPARKGUEST

Follow me on TWITTER @lisadelay too.

Thanks for listening, sharing, and be encouraged to be a SPARK of resilient hope in the world every chance you get.
