about

What is the purpose of your life? Is there some promise, gift, or need that you are destined to fulfill? These questions lie in the heart of the mystery that surrounds our lives. A few people are born with answers, but for most of us the search is part of a long quest. A quest for truth, for meaning, for completion. . . for consciousness, for Self knowledge.

It’s possible to ignore these questions of life purpose and refuse the quest. Contemporary Western society encourages us to limit our explorations to shopping malls and commercial entertainments. But if you are seeking, the story of Perceval is a valuable one to contemplate. Yep, it’s old. So is the cultural conversation about authenticity, love, and self-determination that we are having today, and that gave birth to this story.

There’s more to this story than knights and swords, which came into written form at the same time that folks were contemplating some radical ideas about what it means to be a fully realized human being.

This is part 1 of 3 programs. Thanks for listening.
