Listen "18 Jedi Masters & our Desire for Detachment "
Episode Synopsis
Feeling distracted and unfocused? Lent is the season to rediscover the ascetic life! Let the wisdom of Jedi masters help you renounce unhealthy attachments to (i) created things (ii) success (iii) and the future.Excerpt from episode: “…For if ever a pop culture figure rises to cult status, very often it is because they are deeply resonating with an absence in our culture.

Today, we’ll start with the idea that Jedi stir within us a desire for what Christians called the ascetic life, one that is simple, focused and detached from the many distractions of the world. For by golly, we know how attached and distracted we really are…”Thanks to Joshua Chiu for his beautiful piano and violin cover of the Force Theme, played during the episode.
