What does it mean to become an adult? How do we live a creative life? This podcast shows how these questions are intimately created. Each truly creative act — each act of renewal; a beginning, or ‘rebirth’ — is preceded by letting go of chains to the past, chains which keep us infantile; psychologically dependent on the characters and events that have constituted our life.
Achieving the status of adult involves allowing our self-concept to grow away from where it’s been, and this requires navigating two fundamental opposites within. Philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche described these opposites as morality and nihilism, related to Apollo and Dionysus, and feature in his parable of the tightrope walker.
The podcast begins with a description of the parable and how Nietzsche’s polarities and recipe for transcending them relate to “A Course in Miracles.” It includes a reading of ‘The Tightrope Walker,’ taken from “Reflections on A Course in Miracles: Volume One.”
