3 Segments. 1 Hour. A Whole New Way of Attending to Reality.

Pascal said, "The heart has its reasons that reason knows not of."

In this short audio course, discover what makes the reasons of the "heart," found in what we will be calling "poetic experience," a more compelling source of knowledge, of truth, than scientific or philosophical modes of knowing.

3 segments of approximately 20 minutes each. 1 hour-plus instruction time. Perfect to listen to on a commute or on a walk--or with friends as part of a group discussion. The course includes an 8-page PDF of course notes, notes which include all major textual quotations and a bibliography.
