(Almost) every time sit down for a mind meld, I’m hit with at least one wonder-inducing novelty nugget. That said, I’m not sure if I’ve ever been this moved during a podcast. I think it’ll butter your bread too if you’re walking around with a heart in your chest.
On top of that, Dr. Miles Neale is a rare bird. He’s got the western chops as a doctor of psychology and he’s been practicing Tibetan Buddhism for over two decades. He’s also got a truly fabulous sense of humor. When you combine the three of those, you’ve got a wise and wonderful manwitch.
Simply put, conversations like this are why I do it. They make me want to do everything I can to secrete my drops of wonder water to the maximum. I hope it does the same for you.
