Episode 198 Spiritual Hospitality: Understanding the Palpable Soul

In this episode of The Real Enneagram, we continue our exploration of the three levels of soul development, focusing on the concept of the palpable soul. We delve into the significance of the I-Thou relationship, as introduced by theologian Martin Buber, which emphasizes honoring the soul of another person rather than merely engaging with their ego.

We reflect on our previous discussions about the obscured and emerging souls, noting how the obscured soul often views the world in a dualistic manner, while the emerging soul begins to experience moments of self-remembering and connection with others. Dr. Howell shares personal anecdotes about palpable souls he has encountered, highlighting the deep sense of love and spiritual hospitality they exude.

Scott emphasizes the importance of embodiment practices in developing our soulality, suggesting that awareness of our energy and presence can help us navigate our spiritual journeys. We discuss the necessity of community in soul development, recognizing that while individual practices are valuable, true growth often occurs in relationship with others.

As we conclude, we reflect on the hope we find in the growing awareness of spirituality in the world today, particularly through practices like yoga and meditation. We invite our listeners to engage with our community at the Institute for Conscious Being, encouraging them to explore their own paths toward soul development. Thank you for joining us in this enlightening conversation!
