In This Interview, Mark Nepo and I discuss Connecting to What Matters and… His new book, The Book of Soul: 52 Paths to Living What Matters The value in cooperating, listening and working with things (rather than trying to bend them to our will) That “sin”, as literally translated, is the same as “opaque” or, “not seeing” That when we lose sight of the vastness to which we belong, succumbing to our narrow condition, we paint everything with the color of our trouble How the surface of the ocean is what’s choppy and as we go down below the surface, we connect with the depth that is less tumultuous “Rightsizing” our perspective on troubles by putting them in a larger perspective of vastness and wholeness How to move at the pace of what is real: synchronizing the moving pace of mind, heart, and body That the power of reading out loud is like the difference between reading sheet music and hearing it in our heads vs. actually playing the music That we meditate not to be great meditators, but to be clear vessels How we’ve become “addicted to the noise of things falling apart” That things are always simultaneously falling apart and coming together We are challenged to honor what we’re going through while at the same time remembering that what we’re going through doesn’t define us Asking “What is actually happening?” so we might identify right action Waiting for the cloud of fear to pass so that you can decipher what is actually dangerous How in the modern world we have catastrophized our relationship to the unknown That the unknown can produce love and beauty just as it can produce difficulty and hardships The truth that there is no “there”, there’s only “here” That often, when you can’t leave a difficult situation, you realize that everything you need is right here The menacing assumption that life is somewhere other than where we are That out of fear, we make a god of survival. But without thriving, what’s the point?
