  • Episode 4 – Memory
    Memory is the imprint of the essential patterns that determine the recreation of life.  Sperms and eggs know what to do, birds and bees know what to do, acorns know how to become oak trees, and coal knows how to make a diamond!

    Memory as a spiritual principle is quite different from remembering as a cognitive exercise.  In this episode, Connie discusses Memory as it is stored in the stones and bones, knitting lace as an exercise in yarn-memory, the ugly mirror of American unconscious memory, and she begs shamelessly for feedback!

    Innocence is the topic of this episode.  Connie Kaplan discusses how it anchors itself in the heartmind of a person.  She explains that knitters are really quantum physicists.  She talks about how science has finally discovered the principle of Innocence.  And there are two special surprises this week:  a beautiful essay by a knitting, dreaming Innocent – and a song.

  • Episode 1 – Placement
    Placement is about locating oneself in time and space.  Everyone has a connection to placement, because everyone has a body that occupies space.

    Placement is the principle Connie Kaplan discusses in this first episode. She describes Placement as the principle which helps us locate ourselves in time and space.  She talks about how knitting provides a perfect metaphor for Placement – specifically in the knitting of socks. She outlines how a misunderstanding of this principle can lead to war. And then she saves a marriage! Plus there's a delightful closing surprise.

  • The Invisible Garment Podcasts – Introduction
    What to Expect in The Invisible Garment Podcasts

    Your browser does not support this audio


    This first podcast is short and sweet.  It simply outlines for you what to expect in The Invisible Garment Podcasts. Each one will come in at least four parts:
    1. Spiritual Principles - I will discuss one of the spiritual principles of form, as described in my book The Invisible Garment:  30 spiritual principles that weave the fabric of human life.
    2. Knitting -  I will discuss knitting.  It's a leap for some, but in my world, knitting is the best metaphor I know for the life of a spiritual practitioner - trust me, you'll see.
    3. The Politics of Ethical Behavior - I will talk about how the spiritual principles of form are showing up in our cultural mirrors:  politics, art, religion, music, and other "out there" aspects of our lives.
    4. Feedback - Readers and listeners will send in ideas, suggestions, questions, inspirations, and dreams to be shared with everyone.
    5. There may also be surprise interviews, book reviews, op-eds, or music.  

      Less pedantic, more conversational, these podcasts will make you think more concretely about the spiritual principles that guide our lives.
