In this episode I cover the importance of attention, the fundamental Stoic spiritual attitude. I also cover the Stoic practice called 'Physical Definition,' as derived from Marcus Aurelius' Meditations.
Many will be happy to hear that the volume of my favorite Raven has been reduced. May your hearing last as long as you do.
Again, thank you for your support!
Episode 2 is here. This week I cover how to start the day as a Stoic. I discuss morning meditations derived from Marcus Aurelius and Seneca as well as explain the Stoic exercise called the View from Above. As always, positive reviews on iTunes are needed (because it helps other potential listeners find the podcast) and appreciated (because it's kind of you, and gives me a warm and fuzzy feeling). Shares, retweets and such are, of course, also appreciated. Please let me know what you think of the podcast, feedback will help me improve.
For more on the View from Above, see Donald Robertson's blog and listen to his meditation recording. The book Stoic Spiritual Exercises is a wonderful summary of Stoic practices and available through Amazon. Finally, to see the 'pale blue dot' image and read Carl Sagan's words, go here.
