Don't Live An IMAGINARY Life In The Mind of Others 21:11

hace 1 year21:11

21:11

“We do not content ourselves with the life we have in ourselves and in our own being; we desire to live an imaginary life in the mind of others…” Blaise Pascal, a French mathematician, inventor, and philosopher, came to this realization about humankind in the 17th century. It remains as true today as it was back then. In this episode, we discuss living an “imaginary life” in the mind of others, as opposed to embracing our real existence in the pursuit of truth.

Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad | Fall Asleep With Me 34:56

hace 1 year34:56

34:56

Joseph Conrad (born Józef Teodor Konrad Korzeniowski) was a Polish-English novelist. He was born in 1857 and died in 1924. His twenty years spent as a sailor in the British merchant navy inspired many of his literary works, among which Heart of Darkness is most highly acclaimed. In this episode of “Fall Asleep with Me”, I read this work’s opening scene. It takes place on the tranquil waters of the River Thames.

A Reflection on FRIENDS & Remembrance of Things PAST 26:20

hace 1 year26:20

26:20

The inspiration for this episode is a sonnet–a Shakespearean sonnet–with which you’re unlikely to be familiar; Sonnet 30 , you see, isn’t commonly ranked among Shakespeare’s finest works. It’s neither read to romantic lovers, inscribed on elegant tombstones, nor quoted in popular films. Indeed, you’ll very seldom hear a recitation of its fourteen forgotten lines. And yet, to our purposes, my dear friend, I think it’s ideally suited. I hope that you enjoy this meditation on loss, regret, remorse, failure, and–that by which all sadness in life is wiped away–friends. Do me the honor, my dear friend, of “liking” this episode, subscribing to this channel for daily doses of mindfulness, and sharing it with a friend.…

A Meditation For A RAINY Day: Tracing The “History Of A Single Raindrop” 23:03

hace 1 year23:03

23:03

“How interesting (it is) to trace the history of a single raindrop!” In this guided meditation, we’ll join the American outdoorsman, conservationist, and writer John Muir as we contemplate the dramatic life story of a single raindrop. Muir was a man of extraordinary depth. In this episode, we’ll accompany him to lofty poetic heights–high, in fact, as the craggy summits atop which he made his home–before following him and his raindrop down to the oceans, rivers, puddles, and flower cups in which they came to rest. I don’t know about you, but there’s nothing I enjoy better than watching the rain fall. It’s a divine spectacle of nature, a beautiful production of sound and movement than which there’s simply none more wondrous in all the world. Hopefully this mediation enhances what is, quite without my meager contribution, a transcendent experience. If I succeed, please give this episode a “thumbs-up” or a “five-star” rating. Share it with friends, colleagues, and loved ones. Return to it any time you’re stuck inside on a rainy day. And subscribe to this channel! You can now watch this episode on my YouTube channel. Just search, “Pneuma by Daniel Finneran” and immerse yourself in the stunning images. With affection, Daniel…

Four Quartets by TS Eliot | The Great Poems Of All Time 1:03:56

hace 1 year1:03:56

1:03:56

Thomas Stearns Eliot (1888 - 1965) was an Anglo-American poet. A devout Christian, Eliot was an important figure in the Modernist movement that sprang to life in the first quarter of the 20th century. "Four Quartets", a uniquely sublime work by which all his other poems are eclipsed, addresses the theme of time. It's a theme on which, as you doubtless know, so many of our meditations here on Pneuma are based. I think that you'll enjoy it. Subscribe, like, leave a five-star rating, and share this with friends. Send me poem recommendations at pneuma.finneran@gmail.com Thank you!

“Footfalls Echo In The Memory”: How To Think About And Deal With REGRET 27:33

hace 1 year27:33

27:33

Footfalls echo in the memory Down the passage which we did not take Toward the door we never opened Into the rose-garden. This is an excerpt from the first poem of TS Eliot’s masterpiece, “Four Quartets”. It is, in my opinion, the most memorable part of “Burnt Norton”. In this episode, we’re going to meditate on the theme that Eliot presents: Regret. Be sure to listen to my prior episode about remorse. What is the one thing you regret most? If you care to divulge, send me an email at pneuma.finneran@gmail.com or comment below. Be sure to visit my sister project, @finneranswake on YouTube or wherever you get your podcasts.

Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë | Fall Asleep With Me 33:02

hace 1 year33:02

33:02

Charlotte Brontë (nom de plume "Currer Bell") was an English novelist. She lived between 1816 - 1855. She was the eldest (and most gifted) of an immensely talented trio of sisters, which included Emily and Anne. Her most famous work, “Jane Eyre” is also one of the finest in the English language. In this episode of “Fall Asleep With Me”, I read one of my favorite scenes: that in which our eponymous heroine, Jane Eyre, encounters the dashing Mr. Rochester in the garden at dusk.

How to Think About and Deal with REMORSE, The “Poison Of Life” 24:22

hace 1 year24:22

24:22

“Dread remorse when you are tempted to err, Miss Eyre; remorse is the poison of life.” In Charlotte Brontë’s 1847 masterpiece, “Jane Eyre”, Mr. Rochester issues this stark warning to young Jane, the novel’s titular character and heroine. In this episode, we’ll focus on remorse, contrast it with regret, and implement techniques to relieve us of its heavy burden. I ask you, dear friend and listener, which of the two do you think is worse: Remorse? Or regret? Share your thoughts in the comments section below, or send me an email at pneuma.finneran@gmail.com If you do, I’ll dedicate an entire episode to your thoughts.

George Eliot (the manly nom de plume behind which Mary Ann Evans cloaked her true identity) was an English novelist. She lived between 1819-1880. Her most famous work, “Middlemarch” is also one of the finest in the English language. In this episode of “Fall Asleep With Me”, I read one of my favorite scenes: that in which Will Ladislaw and Dorothea Casaubon (finally) express their love—in word and deed.

What If You Had to Relive Each Moment Of Your Life Again And Again (Forever?) 34:58

hace 2 years34:58

34:58

What if you had to live your life not only once, but innumerable times over? Would this be a blessing? A curse? Would you delight in the opportunity to live it again? Or, if you haven't lived such a good life thus far, would you bewail the prospect? In his work, "The Gay Science", Friedrich Nietzsche explores this idea. He does so through his doctrine of "Eternal Recurrence", of which the Pre-Socratic philosopher, Heraclitus, is acknowledged to have been the originator. In this meditation, we take up the doctrine of Eternal Recurrence and think about it deeply. Please send your comments to pneuma.finneran@gmail.com With affection, Daniel…
