"We all say we are looking for the purpose of life or the meaning of life, when what we're really looking for is the rapture of being fully alive."
- Joseph Campbell, probably slightly paraphrased, in The Power of Myth interviews w/Bill Moyers. Sorry, I don't have a comment on the show....
A great and inspiring guest, Michael. It was cool that you were both on the same page re the New Thought Movement... actually "old thought," or the Ageless Wisdom.
Thanks for having Dennis Jones on the air. KPFK's philospohy and spiritual programs were my only "church" for years - until I found my way to the Church of Religious Science.
Now I belong to a community that honors all paths to God... and I finally feel comfortable when talking to mainstream Christians about Jesus... He's not my personal savior, but he is my Guru!
The history of the New Thought movement is fascinating. It wasn't imported from Europe. It evolved right here in 19th century America, a generation after the American revolution.
The pre-civil war decades were a fertile period that gave rise to New Thought, the Mormons, and Christian Revivalism.
If you can find anyone who's written a good history of that era, please have them on the show!
