This week we're keeping our conversation close to home, as we explore Unteachable Lessons: Why Wisdom Can't Be Taught and Why That's Okay — the new book from Encountering Silence co-host Carl McColman. How do you touch the face of God? You touch the face of God through the medium of silence. And the silence is always there, it's not something I have to create, it's not something we have to conjure, if anything it's something we simply have to allow. Again, by learning, little by little by little, by learning to attend to the spaces between the words. — Carl McColman Unteachable Lessons looks at some of the most important "lessons" of life — learning how to love, how to trust, how to pray, how to grieve — can never be learned from a book or a class or a workshop. It looks at how wisdom often operates on a level deeper than words. Of course, that means one of the best ways to access wisdom is through silence. In today's episode of the podcast, Cassidy and Kevin talk to Carl about how the book came to be written and what inspired Carl to explore this particular topic. Sometimes words get in the way... and sometimes going to a workshop gets in the way, or reading a lot of books gets in the way... we have to learn not through "learning," but through living. — Carl McColman Some of the resources and authors we mention in this episode: Carl McColman, Unteachable Lessons Carl McColman, Befriending Silence Carl McColman, The Big Book of Christian Mysticism Carl McColman, Christian Mystics Carl McColman, Answering the Contemplative Call Lil Copan, Promises of Heaven Martin Laird, An Ocean of Light Julian of Norwich, Revelations of Divine Love Sam Keen, Fire in the Belly Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life John of the Cross, Dark Night of the Soul Woody Allen, Without Feathers William Faulkner, Three Novels Tilden Edwards, Living in the Presence: Spiritual Exercises to Open Our Lives to the Awareness of God Gerald May, Will and Spirit: A Contemplative Psychology Thomas Keating, Open Mind, Open Heart: The Contemplative Dimension of the Gospel Rene Girard, Things Hidden Since the Foundation of the World Elias Marechal, Tears of An Innocent God: Conversations on Silence, Kindness and Prayer Mary Margaret Funk, Thoughts Matter Marvin C.

How does silence form and shape the life of person who is both Zen roshi and a Catholic spiritual director? Ruben L. F. Habito is both a former Jesuit and a master of the Sanbo Kyodan lineage of Zen. In his early youth the Society of Jesus sent him from his homeland in the Philippines to Japan, where he began his Zen practice under the guidance of Yamada Koun-roshi. Koun-roshi was a Zen master who taught many Christians students, an unusual practice for the time. In 1988, Habito received Dharma transmission from Yamada Koun. He left the Jesuit order shortly after that, and in 1991 founded the lay organization Maria Kannon Zen Center in Dallas, Texas. He has taught at Perkins School of Theology, Southern Methodist University since 1989 where he continues to be a faculty member. He is married and has two sons. Silence for me is not so much a set of external conditions, but more of an inner state of mind. — Ruben L. F. Habito Dr. Habito is the author of several books, all of which explore various aspects of Buddhist-Christian dialogue, including Be Still and Know: Zen and the Bible, Zen and the Spiritual Exercises, and Living Zen, Loving God.  In his conversation with the Encountering Silence team, he speaks about the relationship with silence and the fullness of a joyful life, as well as how his engagement with both Christianity and Buddhism has shaped his own relationship with silence. I felt some kind of unspeakable joy of just being in the middle ... if you are at a place within you that enables you to be at home where you are, that's where you can find that interior silence that can connect, and enable you to really open your heart in a warm embrace. That's what silence is for me. — Ruben L. F. Habito Some of the resources and authors we mention in this episode: Ruben L. F. Habito, Be Still and Know: Zen and the Bible Ruben L. F.

In this episode, Johnny Gwin asks Rev. Gibson to discuss the meaning of "hearing God" and how modern society views this prevalent, misunderstood and ridiculed phenomenon. Historically, many have spoken of hearing God. Hearing the words and actual voice of God are well documented throughout the Bible. Anecdotally and culturally many have said that God's voice and presence can be heard in unique, personal and creative ways such as music, nature, earthquakes, deep space and even simple vibrations. Beethoven once said that "music was a fuller way to God." Samuel Taylor Coleridge waxed poetically about the sound of the divine in nature and God's presence in the wind across the string of a beautiful harp. The writer Tilden Edwards in his book Living in the Presence: Disciplines for the Spiritual Heart focuses on the awareness of God all around us especially in the dimension of sound and silence. Shared stories across many religious traditions have mentioned hearing and experiencing the Godhead through common things such as bells, drums, horns, and chants. Hearing God is a more common human experience than many believe and can arrive in a plethora of unique and beautiful forms. So, the next time someone speaks of "hearing God," Rev. Gibson advises we would be well not to judge so quickly or take that person's words too literally.
