Join me in Episode 14 of the Spiritual But Not Religious podcast, where we delve into "Wake Up Call" by Tom Rapsas. Drawing from the wisdom of spiritual luminaries like Thomas Merton, Eckhart Tolle, and the Dalai Lama, Tom invites us to contemplate profound questions about existence, purpose, and the nature of divinity itself. #SpiritualBNR#Spirituality#SBNR#Books#AmReading#Podcast
My favorite phrase so far from Tom Rapsas' book "Wake Up Call" is "finding the sacred in sandwich-making"—taking the time to pause and appreciate the moments during our busy days that might otherwise go unnoticed. It's so easy to just go through our days on automatic pilot, but by slowing down we can find opportunities for meditation and for connection with others. #SpiritualBNR#Spirituality#TomRapsas#WakeUpCall#Books
I’ve started reading a new book today—“Wake Up Call: Daily insights for the spiritually curious” by Tom Rapsas. Many thanks to the people at Wildhouse Publications for sending me a review copy of the book. I’ll post here as I read, then let you know when the full review is up on my website and podcast. #AmReading#Spirituality#BookReview#SpiritualBNR
I was recently inspired by a quote from Robert Wolfe's book "Ramana Maharshi: Teachings of Self-Realization". Ramana is quoted as saying, "Only the absolute Being is real." In Episode 13 of Spiritual But Not Religious, I discuss the meaning of the quote and how it applies to my own life. I hope you find it inspirational.
"The Self, or God, is not somewhere else—but is inside each of us. In loving oneself, one can only love the Self. Love itself is the 'form' of God." ~Ramana Maharshi
I read this in Robert Wolfe's book "Ramana Maharshi: Teachings of Self-Realization". This is a concept I've felt for most of my life. I'm not sure how or when this became clear to me, but it's nice to see it expressed here.
