How To Live A "Good Life", The Epicurean Way

Pneuma with Daniel Finneran ·

2022/06/02

Every philosopher worth his salt has put forth, in one way or another, a theory of the "Good Life", and the means by which this universal goal to be obtained. In his pursuit of the "Good Life" or, Eudaimonia, each philosopher offered his unique guidance. Aristotle advised the cultivation and practice of the virtues. Aristippos suggested indulgence and sybaritic excess. Zeno encouraged a life of Stoic resolve, lived in accordance with nature. While Epicurus, our subject for today,

Some Reflections on Mass Shootings - A Somber, But...

Pneuma with Daniel Finneran ·

2022/05/28

In America, two mass shootings have occurred in as many weeks. In all, thirty-one innocent lives have been claimed, and countless others traumatized by the dual horror to which they bore witness. In this episode, I share with you my personal reflections on these two atrocities--that by which Buffalo, NY, and that by which Uvalde, TX were plagued. I share with you how I approach and think about these events. When they occur (as inevitably they do), I seek the healing words of Seneca the

Pneuma with Daniel Finneran ·

2022/05/14

Notice the sweet spring breeze: In what direction is it blowing? Does it carry with it, along its airy stream, the delicious fragrance of the season, that intoxicating mix of primrose, honeysuckle, and sweet iced tea? Of lilac, saw-dust, and fresh-mowed grass? Ground your feet, gather your breath, begin to walk and...bathe in the breeze with me!

To What Lofty Summits We Shall Climb! A Guided Hiking...

Pneuma with Daniel Finneran ·

2022/04/28

Do you hear that? It’s the sound of nature in her naked dress, her blushing innocence, her primitive form–a form from which, with all our technology, comfort, and progress, we’re so far removed. Listen to her song—it’s a masterwork of nature. It’s grander than Beethoven; more majestic than Mozart; more sublime than Debussy. All it lacks is ears, your ears, with which to appreciate its native genius... Enjoy your hike (even more!) with this guided meditation.

Eudaimonia, the Secret to Happiness: What is it? And...

Pneuma with Daniel Finneran ·

2022/04/22

What is the ultimate state of being of which we’re all in pursuit? To what sort of existence do we all aspire? The answer is simple: Eudaimonia. Eudaimonia, that highest end to which every philosophical school is in service, is more than happiness, pleasure, or the base sensual gratification derived from touch or taste. It’s a state of unperturbable contentment, sober fulfilment, tranquility, virtue, and quiet bliss. It’s conformity to nature, and sincerity with oneself. And where

Thoughts in a Garden - A Meditation with Andrew Marvell

Pneuma with Daniel Finneran ·

2022/04/06

"What wondrous life is this I lead! Ripe apples drop about my head; the luscious clusters of the vine upon my mouth do crush their wine; The nectarine and curious peach into my hands themselves do reach; Stumbling on melons, as I pass, ensnared with flowers, I fall on grass." A short, poetic meditation brought to us by Andrew Marvell. Most suitable for Spring!

O Walden, Where Art Thou? A Guided Walking...

Pneuma with Daniel Finneran ·

2022/03/23

Shall we become Saunterers, one and all? The word is beautifully derived from idle people who roved about the country, in the Middle Ages, and asked charity, under pretense of going "à la Sainte Terre"--to the Holy Land. Eventually, seeing so many travelers pass along their crowded streets, the children exclaimed, “There goes a Sainte-Terrer”, a Saunterer, a Holy-Lander. Every walk, so long as it’s properly done, should bring you to some Holy Land; every mile, an inch closer to an

How to be Pure of Mind

Pneuma with Daniel Finneran ·

2022/03/10

"If a man should stand by a limpid pure spring, and curse it, the spring never ceases sending up potable water; and if he should cast clay into it or filth, it will speedily disperse them and wash them out, and will not be at all polluted. How then shalt thou possess a perpetual fountain?" How will you be pure of mind, wholesome of spirit, unblemished by nonsense, and cleansed of the corruptions by which your equanimity is stained? You must look within, and dig your own fountain.
