If you’ve ever wanted to see
things differently and discover a brightness even in the seeming
darkness all around, then do we have the Book of Soul show for
you.
Today I’ll be talking with Mark
Nepo, spiritual writer, poet, philosopher, spiritual artist, the
author of the New York Times #1 Best Seller, “The Book of
Awakening” and all-time favorite spiritual author of mine, and the
author of a brilliant, beautiful new book, “The Book of
Soul”
And that’s just what I want to
talk with him about today, about Covid-19, protest, instability,
apparent darkness, and what in the world it means for the evolution
of our soul.
Key Points Discussed:
- What
do you see going on in the world today with the pandemic and all
the chaos everywhere? (03:33)
- Getting unstuck from grief and accepting
that the world has changed (03:49)
- The
purpose of suffering in exhausting us of our differences and that
of love in awakening us to how we are at heart the same
(11:17)
- Moving through our fear instead of obeying it
so we can allow love to move us towards the miracle
(15:27)
- Overcoming fear and pain by enlarging our sense
of things (19:00)
- Wholeheartedness and inviting in our shadow at
this time (20:32)
- Listening to honest friends who can call us out
when we’re wrong (24:00)
- Liberating ourselves by wearing sandals instead
of needlessly carpeting the earth (27:09)
- The
uselessness of our propensity to judge each other
(31:01)
- Looking with wonder and reverence at the
incredibly positive opportunity for something greater at this time
(34:58)
- What
in the world is a prison tree? (37:17)
- Why
he chooses every day whether to be known as a jew or not
(45:20)
- Truth
and kindness and how they are our constant teachers
(50:04)
- Looking at hope as no matter how things turn
out they will have meaning (52:27)
- Avoiding the distancing of each other in our
hearts despite having to practice caution and social distancing
(01:01:02)
- Being
who we are completely with each other, not holding anything back,
and making the most of our time together (01:02:43)
