Understanding Spirituality Through Dialogue

In this episode we attempt to come to a mutual understanding of several passages from different texts in a process called Dialectic into Dialogos. We read a short paragraph, and then discuss how we understood it and how we can attempt to apply it to our own lives The three texts we focus on are Meditations by Marcus Aurelius, The Tao Te Ching, and the Bhagavad Gita. We hope you enjoy!
