Listen "The Celtics with John Philip Newell"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, we feature a Celtic teacher and spiritual author to help you learn how to reawaken your inner nature and heal the psychological wounds of empirical religion that still haunt your unconscious. John Philip Newell's most recent work is entitled, "Sacred Earth, Sacred Soul: Celtic Wisdom for Reawakening to What Our Souls Know and Healing the World".In the book, he explores Celtic leaders who were seen as heretics by the Church and excommunicated for their beliefs. We talk about why Christian empires across history have fought hard to silence visionaries and the open-minded world views they deemed punishable. Find out why ancient Celtic wisdom is a timeless tradition and how you can use it to shape a better world in the 21st century, even as an atheist.====================0:00 Intro2:45 John Philip's religious upbringing5:47 George MacLeod's impact 8:04 The connection between the word compassion and the word compass9:40 What's the Celtic vision of sacredness?14:37 Holiness is not separate from matter17:37 Getting in touch with our natural knowing20:39 What happens when the flow of the Divine is blocked?22:43 How did the Celtics conceptualize Christ?24:28 The sick doctrine of original sin30:44 What is Grace?34:15 What does fear cut us off from?41:25 To be made of God is to be made of imagination46:27 Why did Alexander John Scott get thrown out of the Church?51:25 Why are rituals important?55:25 What does peregrination mean?57:21 "One Final Question"====================Buy the book!
