Compassion is part of our neurobiological nature. We don’t so much command compassion as compassion commands us. What is this emotion that our survival as a species demands. Can the human family hardwire itself with compassion before it is too late.

In this second half of our podcast on suffering we continue our conversation...

What is “suffering” and how is it central to all religions and spiritual sensibilities? How can we reduce suffering both personally and globally?

Our little circle of contemplatives reflects on the nature of SOLITUDE in our daily lives, in our spiritual lives.

What is this Presence that has been known as God, Holy and the Tao.

We look at Amanda Gorman’s poem, “The Hill We Climb” and use it as a metric for America’s better angels of our soul.

What is self reflection?

We explore the spiritual side of politics and reach for a deeper understanding of how politics might be better rooted in a spiritual connections that are life itself.
