Pneuma by Daniel Finneran

I'll bet that you weren't expecting to see those two names joined together! 

Such are the promiscuous and varied sources from whom we here on Pneuma draw our inspiration. We look at once to the courtly Florentine political philosopher (by whom the murderous Medici were, for better or worse, advised), and to the ascetic Indian sage who, in the sixth century BC, attained enlightenment and enjoyed an apotheosis. 

In this episode, we'll examine one of the fundamental features of human nature: the insatiability of our appetite. We desire everything, but, in our lifetime, we're only able to obtain a small amount of that for which we hunger. This leads to discontentment, dissatisfaction, and suffering. 

We will explore the themes of appetite, desire (its origins and its overcoming), temperance, eastern and western philosophy, and much more.

Finneran's Wake

What is Pneuma by Daniel Finneran?

Mindfulness for the Thinking Mind.

A soothing, soporific voice with which to calm and center yourself.

Episodes on themes as diverse as walking, sleeping, stretching, anxiety, worldly possessions, positive affirmations, lunch hours, and morning commutes. Meditations and sleep stories for every occasion at any stage of life.

From Shakespeare to the Stoics, Coleridge to the Platonists, the Buddha to the Transcendentalists, we'll borrow our wisdom from the best who have ever thought, and strengthen our minds with their collective genius.
