Ep. 173 | St. John of the Cross' Todos y Nadas

2026-05-0423:36

This is a reflection on St. John of the Cross's piece The Ascent of Mount Carmel (Book 1, Chapter 13, Paragraphs 11 and 12). His teaching on Todos y Nadas, or Everything and Nothing, has been utterly transformative for me... and so here I am sharing about this piece of mystical, post-conventional, second-wisdom.

2026-04-2716:46

2026-03-1925:12

Ep. 170 | The One on Tears and Repairs

2026-03-0528:09

This one is pretty much a sermon, inspired by the story of Zaccheaus in Luke 19, the Gottman Institute's "Emotional Bank Account", and our need to learn how to make really good amends.
