Living with and from the soul: A Conversation with Thomas Moore

Since the publication of his Care of The Soul in 1992, Thomas Moore has been a bestselling author on all matters important to the human being. He has a background as monk, musician, psychologist and practicing psychotherapist with deep connections to Carl Jung, and is very erudite on all of the humanities, making him an ideal guest for Journey Of An Aesthete Podcast.   Moore holds Ficino, Erasmus, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, Emily Dickinson and J S Bach as special influences and attempts to bring their insights into the contemporary period.  He is as widely versed in spiritual traditions as he is in the secular liberal arts and in books like Soulmates, The Soul Of Sex, The Re-enchantment Of The World and, currently, Ageless Soul., renders his philosophical commitments in the most beautiful prose. One of his central insights is that what he calls "literalism" is the biggest problem for our world today; consequently, he attempts to heal the effects of this literalism through a more poetic consciousness about all aspects of life.  It was certainly an honor to have him as guest on the show.
