Episode 295: God Threw My Journal into a River: A Conversation on Love and Freedom from the Streets of Zakopane, Poland

Dela

You can become who you are. Which means you can also become who you're not.

Recorded on location in Poland during a pilgrimage through the life of John Paul II, Dr. Greg Bottaro and Dr. Gerard McNicholas trace JP2's line "let yourself be molded by love" — and what happens in the subconscious that blocks our freedom to choose it.

Key Topics:

  • Why "become who you are" carries a hidden warning — you can also be molded into who you're not
  • Why virtue never becomes automatic, no matter how many years you practice it
  • How the one freedom no one can take from you is the freedom St. Maximilian Kolbe used to step forward and say "take my place"
  • Why the buried things in your subconscious actually want to be known — and why John Paul II called surfacing them a task of morality
  • How art slips in the back door of the subconscious and unlocks what analysis alone can't reach
