Conversations Along The Way
This podcast features a series of conversations about what matters most, however you choose to label it. I have, since childhood, been fascinated by two fundamental, interlocking questions: what does it mean to be fully alive? Why are we here? Drawing on my years of reflection on and practice of personal growth, Christianity and Buddhism as well as my vocational experience as a journalist and visual storyteller, I want to engage my guests deeply on questions of truth and meaning and how our respective understanding of these matters has shaped our lives. Life is equal parts glorious, confounding, and terrifying and the adventures and misadventures we all have along the way are a source of endless fascination to me. I hope you join me in exploring these timeless topics. Logo © 2023, Marcus Kollmorgen.
Conversations Along The Way
CATW # 9 – with Pastor David Roth about our understanding of the afterlife
My friend David Roth makes his third appearance on the show, this time joining me to talk about concepts of the Afterlife found in the Swedenborgian and Buddhist traditions. We tease out similarities and differences, touching on fun little details like the Swedenborgian view of Heaven presented in the film What Dreams May Come and the tension between the rich tapestry of Buddhist cosmology and the Buddha's penchant for sidestepping questions of metaphysics.
