East-West:  The Two Halves of the Soul Talk with Laurence Freeman OSB

Episode Summary

In this talk, Fr Laurence Freeman OSB explores the deep basis of the east-west divide. He shows how - as with the contemplative-active polarity - the underlying unity of all human spiritual experience reveals the true meaning of our life's journey.

Episode Notes

"The heart is the very spiritual symbol, the place of prayer...is the store room which keeps things fresh and available, from which we can receive enrichment and nourishment." says Laurence in this talk. "When you pray go into your inner room, the heart." It's a dynamic symbol: as we enter into our heart, our inner room , the symbol of the heart reminds us that we're doing something dynamic. The prayer of the heart is rhythmic, regular, peaceful but essentially dynamic.
