The Pocket Contemplative

Three Pathways into Your True Self


Listen Later

As we mature, we do whatever is required to make our lives work out. Still, the great spiritual traditions suggest that there remains a true you and me that will become forged over time, but will require attention and perhaps risk to experience. The more we discover and live this out, the more we find ourselves connected to the entire world. Join Dave Schmelzer for contemplative insights from India that interact with the deepest wisdom of great Christians like Thomas Merton and others. Dave closes with a related contemplative practice suggested by a famous neuroscientist.
