Seizing the Day is Easier than It Looks
from The Pocket Contemplative · host Dave Schmelzer
"What's new?" has become a difficult question for many of us to answer during the pandemic, and yet neuroscientists tell us that novelty is a key to happiness. Dave Schmelzer offers us insight from spiritual masters from Christianity, Judaism and Zen on this crucial question, with a particular look at often-misunderstood wisdom from St. Paul. As a throw-in, Paul explains why the horrible tribalism we're experiencing today is inevitable...but how to leave it in favor of rich connection. Mentioned on this podcast:Acts 17:27-28; Romans 1:16-17, 3:3, 3:19-20, 5:17, 8:2,9, 8:15, 8:18, 8:31-33,35,37; Revelation 21:5, John 16:33
