These talks present an insightful exploration of the nature of meaning, love, and healing, that makes us look at our life’s priorities. Is it success or meaning? Is it quest or nest? Perhaps the best context in which we can evaluate meaning, Laurence Freeman says, is death. Against that ultimate horizon our experience of meaning is inextricably connected with love. Love enables us to escape from the prison of the ego, the place of loneliness and isolation.

A regular practice of meditation, Laurence Freeman says, can lead to a greater sense of meaning. It opens us to the love of God within ourselves and gradually brings us to harmony and integration with ourselves, with others, the world, the universe, and with God. From this new perspective, our values change, our priorities change, and we begin to live with a deeper sense of meaning and purpose.
