In this episode:
We discuss what Carl Jung called “the decisive question”: the need for a relationship with the infinite.

Sources for quotes and more:

1. "The decisive question for man is: Is he related to something infinite or not?" ~ C.G. Jung from 'Memories, Dreams, Reflections'
2. "Without a direct link to the transcendent, we're just one member of a series, replaceable by any other individual of the same species; we lose our uniqueness and with that our dignity." ~ Raimon Panikkar from 'The Rhythm of Being'
3. "An authentic awareness of that which is." ~ Abraham Joshua Heschel from 'Man is Not Alone'
4. “The surface-glamour of existence,” ~ William James in 'Is Life Worth Living?'
5. "I do not care whether the consciousness be that of artist or musician" ~ Evelyn Underhill from 'Mysticism'
6. "It is to vigor rather than to comfort that you are called..." ~ Evelyn Underhill from Practical Mysticism
