ABOUT OUR GUEST
Thomas Moore is a psychotherapist, writer and spiritual teacher. He is best known for his hugely influential book "Care of the Soul", amongst more than 30 other books. In this conversation we explore the difference between soul and spirit, dealing with regret, the importance of humour and the imagination, facing dark nights of the soul and following the promptings of the daimon (not demon!). We also talk about his next book (not yet released) about Henry David Thoreau.
It was a real honour to speak with one of my heroes.
Thank you for watching!
Warmest wishes
Mick

ABOUT THIS CHANNEL
The Spiritual Scientist channel is dedicated to discerning the spiritual currents of our time with the help of Rudolf Steiner's insights and also those of the many men and women who have taken his work seriously.
There is a deep longing in many people today for a real knowledge of the spirit. Many feel that a vague, nebulous or abstract spirituality no longer suffices in today's world and at the same time, a return to the dogma of traditional religions is unthinkable.
In short, we want to know for ourselves.
Steiner offered a path which is completely individual to each person who takes it up...and at the same time universal. It is a path which anyone can follow no matter their cultural background. And no matter what your religion or spiritual path is, Steiner's ideas and "Anthroposophy" can support and enliven it.
His insights have brought renewal to many areas in life such as Education, Agriculture (Biodynamics), Medicine , Religion (The Christian Community), architecture and many others.
