Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë | Fall Asleep With Me

Pneuma with Daniel Finneran ·

2023/09/14

Charlotte Brontë (nom de plume "Currer Bell") was an English novelist. She lived between 1816 - 1855. She was the eldest (and most gifted) of an immensely talented trio of sisters, which included Emily and Anne.Her most famous work, “Jane Eyre” is also one of the finest in the English language. In this episode of “Fall Asleep With Me”, I read one of my favorite scenes: that in which our eponymous heroine, Jane Eyre, encounters the dashing Mr. Rochester in the garden at dusk.

How to Think About and Deal with REMORSE, The “Poison...

Pneuma with Daniel Finneran ·

2023/09/08

“Dread remorse when you are tempted to err, Miss Eyre; remorse is the poison of life.”In Charlotte Brontë’s 1847 masterpiece, “Jane Eyre”, Mr. Rochester issues this stark warning to young Jane, the novel’s titular character and heroine. In this episode, we’ll focus on remorse, contrast it with regret, and implement techniques to relieve us of its heavy burden. I ask you, dear friend and listener, which of the two do you think is worse: Remorse? Or regret? Share your thoughts in the comments

Middlemarch by George Eliot | Fall Asleep With Me

2023/07/15

George Eliot (the manly nom de plume behind which Mary Ann Evans cloaked her true identity) was an English novelist. She lived between 1819-1880.Her most famous work, “Middlemarch” is also one of the finest in the English language. In this episode of “Fall Asleep With Me”, I read one of my favorite scenes: that in which Will Ladislaw and Dorothea Casaubon (finally) express their love—in word and deed.

What If You Had to Relive Each Moment Of Your Life...

Pneuma with Daniel Finneran ·

2023/06/06

What if you had to live your life not only once, but innumerable times over? Would this be a blessing? A curse? Would you delight in the opportunity to live it again? Or, if you haven't lived such a good life thus far, would you bewail the prospect? In his work, "The Gay Science", Friedrich Nietzsche explores this idea. He does so through his doctrine of "Eternal Recurrence", of which the Pre-Socratic philosopher, Heraclitus, is acknowledged to have been the originator. In this meditation,

Hidden Inside Each One of Us Is An Unimaginable “I”....

Pneuma with Daniel Finneran ·

2023/05/30

The concept of the Unimaginable “I” is one to which, so far as I can tell, the Czech-French writer, Milan Kundera, is chiefly responsible for having given life. Kundera, twice expelled from the Czech Communist Party (of which he was, in his youth, a devout member) published a book in 1984 entitled The Unbearable Lightness of Being, about which I talk, at some length, on my sister channel, Finneran’s Wake (Check it out on Podcast/YouTube!) In the book, Kundera contemplates the idea of the

How To MASTER Your EMOTIONS! (It's Easier Than You...

Pneuma with Daniel Finneran ·

2023/05/04

Are you ready? Here’s the secret: Gaining mastery over your emotions is as simple as replacing one word with another. When angry, do you say: “I am angry”? Try this: the next time that you’re visited by the emotion of anger, simply substitute the word “feel” for “am”. “I feel angry” is much different from “I am angry”. Feelings are fleeting. They are visitors to which you can either open or close your door. Being is a bit more permanent. Once you perceive your emotions as visitors, you can

Pneuma with Daniel Finneran ·

2023/04/06

In a previous episode, we meditated over a question than which, in my opinion, there simply is none bigger, more profound, nor more important: “TO BE, OR NOT TO BE”. (Or, in other words: to keep on living, or to give up and die).This is the famously quotable line with which Act III of Shakespeare’s “Hamlet” opens. Hamlet, the troubled Prince of Denmark does what he does best: he dithers. I suppose, ultimately, he decides NOT to be (a decision for which nearly everyone close to him

Don’t it always seem to goThat you don’t know what you’ve gotTill it’s gone…The legendary Joni Mitchell (to whom the Counting Crows don’t hold a candle!) said it best: “You don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone”. GK Chesterton, the great English essayist, cultural critic, and Christian apologist of the early 20th-century wrote something very similar in his article, “On Being Moved”. In it, he said: “For it is the point of all deprivation that it (deprivation) sharpens the idea of

Pneuma with Daniel Finneran ·

2023/03/25

The marrow–be it of a bone or of a book–is the deepest, healthiest, most sought-after thing that we can nourish ourselves with. It is the hidden flake of gold, the buried piece of diamond for which we all dig–than which every lustrous rock and special stone is far less valuable. In this episode, we draw our inspiration from the great French Renaissance writer, François Rabelais. In his immortal book, “Gargantua”, Rabelais compares a dog (crowned by Plato as the animal kingdom’s most

2023/03/19

“To be, or not to be, that is the question…”Verily, ‘tis a line quotable not only by every English-speaker, but most non-English-speakers who are scattered across the world. And while it deserves, and shall forever deserve, our quotation, it no less demands our contemplation. I’m convinced that this line, and the entire passage of which it’s the opening and defining part, is more than mere poetry, scribbled out by a short-lived bibulous bard at the end of the sixteenth century.No.It is, in
