00:00:39.172 – 00:00:44.752
In case you’re not familiar with the word, its most basic definition is a period of deep thought.
00:00:45.892 – 00:00:50.912
That perfectly describes what this podcast is about.
00:00:50.912 – 00:00:58.212
My intention is to submerge myself in a brief moment of deep thought about a certain something.
00:00:58.212 – 00:01:04.552
That something can be anything from an object to an animal, to a thing I read, to an experience I had.
00:01:04.552 – 00:01:07.612
You may be asking yourself, why?
00:01:07.612 – 00:01:18.452
because one of the most valuable lessons I’ve learned in life when it comes to spirituality is that the grandest of lessons come from the simplest observations.
00:01:28.473 – 00:01:31.273
Pick your favorite philosopher or spiritual teacher.
00:01:31.273 – 00:01:40.373
I’ll bet you my lunch money that as you read through their writing or consume their lessons, they’ll drop parables, examples, or stories that teach a deep lesson.
00:01:44.833 – 00:01:48.373
That’s the premise of this podcast in a nutshell.
00:01:48.373 – 00:01:56.213
Stop, observe, interpret, learn, apply, and then pass it along.
00:02:04.336 – 00:02:05.876
What’s my goal?
00:02:05.876 – 00:02:11.696
It’s to promote the simplest, purest form of spirituality.
00:02:11.696 – 00:02:20.596
And that’s pausing and tuning in to the lessons that life is constantly trying to whisper in our ear, but we’re too distracted to hear.
00:02:24.076 – 00:02:28.456
Now, it’s important to mention, I’m not promoting a specific belief system.
00:02:28.456 – 00:02:32.096
I’m not affiliated with any religious group or label.
00:02:32.096 – 00:02:40.496
The conclusions you’ll hear in this podcast are not the result of exhaustive research or theological training or textbook philosophy.
00:02:40.496 – 00:02:49.176
I’ve had periods of time in my life where that was my primary focus when it came to spirituality, and I am on a very different track right now.
00:02:50.216 – 00:02:54.076
If you’re looking for that type of thing, this is not the podcast for you.
00:02:54.076 – 00:03:00.356
I’m sure there must be some PhDs out there putting out their dissertations in podcast form, but this is not that.
00:03:23.105 – 00:03:29.205
You’ll learn more about my personal journey at some point, but for now, just know that I’m a fan of life.
00:03:29.205 – 00:03:39.225
I marvel at the way existence works, and I crave those moments when I’m able to pause and observe life and learn something from those observations.
00:03:56.811 – 00:04:04.531
There’s always something to learn, always some way to better my experience as a human being.
00:04:05.591 – 00:04:10.951
And I hope that through this podcast, I can help you do the same.
00:04:15.391 – 00:04:16.671
So I’ll see you in Episode One.
