In this week’s podcast I talk about the tides of seemingly irrational thoughts and emotions that we can experience and how we can develop an inner community of characters to help process them. Whether we use a personality typing system, like the Enneagram, archetypes or something as common as a tarot deck, structuring our world in a symbolic framework will help take the sting out of overwhelming emotions.

I speak about the importance of religions and introduce author G.K Chesterton’s work, which gives us yet another perspective from which to view Orthodoxy of any kind. If we become too logical, we lock ourselves in a mental prison that seeks to know the ultimate truth, which is often only a fraction of the mystery that life presents us. If we allow our irrational thoughts to possess us, we invite another kind of madness that rips us from the fabric of reality and isolates us in a different way. As always, combining two sides of the same coin makes us richer.
