No matter what religion we are born with or not born with, we are all born with a natural capacity in our brain to be in a transcendent relationship, number one, and number two, to feel power and love and guidance of that transcendent relationship as we turn towards one another.” – Dr. Lisa Miller
This time on Mindrolling, Dr. Lisa and Raghu talk about:
- Dr. Miller’s synchronistic connection with Ram Dass
- Identifying threads of lived, spiritual human life in clinical psychology
- Being born with the capacity to awaken
- Cultivating our relationship to the transcendent
- The difference between a spiritual experience and a fully integrated spiritual life
- An awakened heart and mind as a protective factor against despair
- The mental health epidemic in our country
- Trust and moments of unconditional love
- Radical love on Dr. Lisa’s journey to parenthood
- How suffering brings us closer to God
“There’s nothing at all in the clinical sciences and the social sciences that is as profoundly curative and protective against the diseases of despair (addiction, depression, even suicide) as an awakened heart, an awakened mind.” – Dr. Lisa Miller
