In this episode, which originally aired in radio format on December 30th, 2021, I explore some of the ideas presented in the book The Seeking Heart,  a collection of spiritual letters written in the early 1700's by French Catholic theologian and Archbishop of Cambrai, Francois Fénelon. I translate Fénelon's decidedly Christian way of talking about the benevolent function of hardship into a more secular, universalist language. I also talk about dying to the self and turning towards God (a.k.a. the Present Moment, the Great Mystery, the True Self, the Ground of Being, etc.), and about the importance of gratitude.
