Soul School – Lesson 43: Locating Hell & Heaven – CS Lewis

Welcome to Spark My Muse!

It’s a beautiful thing we have going. I bring you something to enjoy and you give me some money. Thanks for your generousity, today.

Today is SOUL SCHOOL. It comes to you EACH WEDNESDAY.
(aka Midweek or “hump day”)

What do we mean, if anything, by the words heaven and hell outside of post-mortem propositions?

Could the concepts mean something for us in this world, before we die? Something about our state of mind or how we live?

I found an intriguing podcast episode about CS Lewis’ short book The Great Divorce on the Kindling Podcast and I wanted to share a piece of it with you as well as some of my own thoughts. Please listen to the whole Kindlings episode linked below when you get the chance. I hope you like this installment of Soul School. Pass it on to someone who might like it too.

Enjoy the show!

We all live lives of self-impersonation–trying to be what we think is best or acting in ways we think others want us to be in the world.

Here’s what can be done instead. Wisdom from Parker J. Palmer and other luminaries on today’s Soul School lesson.

Welcome to Soul School!

Soul School comes out each Wednesday
(Which is Hump Day – midweek in the work week).

This episode is the the hardest one I’ve done yet.

• I recorded it with no notes and off-the-cuff with my heart busted wide open–just after Alton Sterling and Philando Castile were senselessly killed but just before the 5 Dallas police officers were assassinated by a snipper during a peaceful protest march. Even though it’s not a typical Soul School in some ways, I hope it’s meaningful to you some how. If so, let me know.

Soul School – Lesson 39: New Insights on Loneliness

Welcome to Soul School!

Soul School comes out each Wednesday (Hump Day – Midweek in the work week).

Today, I am featuring new insights on the topic of loneliness based on a recent article you can read here at Nautilus Magazine.

When we feel alone, we sense that there is something wrong. When we feel lonely we may think there is a problem with us and we might even feel ashamed. Research about who feels lonely, what happens from prolonged loneliness, and the actually FUNCTION of loneliness will probably surprise you.

Enjoy this episode.
