From Thinking With Somebody Else's Head by Richard Lloyd Jones

About this episode

Richard Lloyd Jones explores his personal journey towards a Judeo-Christian theology and the deeper questions of purpose and meaning in life.

I've talked before on this podcast about my personal journey to treading a more Judeo-Christian theology path in my life -- inspired by my almost 25 years in Brazil working with Norberto Keppe's science of Analytical Trilogy. That was a surprise. I full expected a deep psychological dive into my own psyche and a continuous analysis of my actions and motivations and successes and failures. Psychoanalysis is, of course, Keppe's field, and he's a master there. But because Keppe deals with the inner life of the human being, that inevitably leads those who are serious about discovering what's going on with them to delving into the more spiritual parts of their lives. Those inevitable questions of purpose and meaning and even life after death. In philosophy, that's an understanding of cause and finality. Where do you come from, and where are you going? And that journey has been banalized in our modern world.   The Origin of Ourselves, today on Thinking with Somebody Else's Head. Click here to listen to this episode .
