Episode 2 In this episode I discuss how to leverage Social Media in your search.

Hello again everyone. I was very pleased to have visited Rome last week, and thought you might enjoy some of the photographs that I took in, and outside the Capitoline Museum. The Equestrian Statue of Marcus, which I was very much looking forward to seeing can be found in the museum, and I was not disappointed; it is breathtaking. There is also a c…

In the final episode, Marcus covers a range of areas, declaring with certainty that the Gods exist, that we are all one collective soul, and gives us a nice perspective on our lives measured against the vastness of eternity, and draws the conclusion that death is the natural order of the universe. If you’ve made it this far, I’d especially welcome …

In this penultimate book, Marcus discloses the 4 dispositions of the mind to be aware of and rectify, and he also gives us 10 heads or contemplations /maxims to live according to (9 of his own, and 1 that he borrows form Hercules): http://goo.gl/L7NWlY Courtesy of Kandschwar, this is a picture of Marcus supporting the Kaiserbrücke (Emperor Bridge),…

Marcus explores the idea of Truth, Modesty and Goodness. He encourages us to teach others as kinsmen (or to die), and where appropriate, to collect ourselves. He also shares a joke: “What is it that is slow, and yet quick? Merry, and yet grave? He that in all things doth follow reason for his guide” http://goo.gl/L7NWlY The Column of Marcus Aureliu…

Marcus explores and substantiates his assertion that injustice is against nature, also the sin of omission (for example failing to teach someone their error is our sin), and that we are all naturally reasonable creatures, but that we forget this. He believes it is our actions and what we do that matters, and in our deeds we must recognise that we a…

Some 1500 years before Sir Isaac Newton undertook his exploration of light, Marcus was also trying to understand it. His conclusions (for me) evoke echoes of the jurisprudence of the light of natural reason of Thomas Aquinas, and also reminds me of a famous Bradford quote about light where he speaks about evangelism: “Thus out of small beginnings g…

Book Seven covers a range of topics in a journey from wickedness to tranquility. Marcus explores what wickedness truly means, and scoffs at the idea of eliminating it, concluding instead that the best we can do is restrain it, with anger and passion being the enemy of reason and therefore against nature. He states that no-one is bereft of the truth…

In this book, Marcus speaks of the common good, lists some of his heroes, and concludes that we live in a rational, all-connected universe in perpetual flux and regeneration, and to rejoice in seeing the best in others. Although he hasn’t decided if there is one God or many, he advises to worship them just in case: https://goo.gl/MFemJL Me in the R…

Book Four is ready now. In this book, Marcus describes how to (as I would put it) “get Zen”. In an episode about acceptance of the vastness of eternity, the vanity of seeking fame, and the consideration of the world as “one living substance, and having but one soul”, he recommends that a man “cannot any wither retire better than to his own soul”. H…

Podcast episode 3 of Book Three is now ready at the following link. In this book, Marcus tells us some stories of Hippocrates, Alexander and others, and makes an interesting reference to “God” perhaps suggesting that he was monotheistic (although he was no friend to the Christians). https://goo.gl/2x0ba4 Bust of Marcus Aurelius as a young boy, Capi…
