Contemplative Intelligence: A Journey Within
Episode Overview
Contemplative Intelligence is about finding sanctuary within life's chaos. Most people focus on things that don't matter; contemplation offers clarity. Historical figures like Einstein practised contemplative intelligence. Contemplation helps peel back life's layers with joy, not sorrow. Spiritual journeys are lifelong processes of self-discovery and God-realisation.
"Most people are spending 98% of their time on things that just don't matter."
