\\nHave you considered whether the daily questions you live in are sourced in fear? Or in wonder?
\\nDo you regularly spend time with what truly matters to you?
\\nWhere do you go when you can\\u2019t run away (from your challenges) anymore?
\\n
\\nThis is one of my favorite conversations I\\u2019ve ever had with another human being.
\\nBecause I am a philosopher at heart, and Leigh McCloskey is one of the most intriguing, fascinating, inspired and inspiring minds alive on the planet today.
\\nWhile Leigh was a famous TV actor back in the day, a regular on TV shows like General Hospital and Dallas, and countless other daytime soaps and movies and shows like Star Trek and BattleStar Galactica, I\\u2019ve only ever personally known him as one of the most fascinating minds alive today, for in addition to being a strongly grounded human being, he is also a visionary artist and plugged-in-to-the-mystical-realms philosopher.
\\nI first met Leigh in person at his home in Malibu.
\\nI had no idea what I was in for when a friend invited me to a small movie screening one evening Leigh and his wife, Carla, were hosting.
\\nFrom the outside, his home, just a short walk from the wild Pacific Ocean, looked more or less like any modest Malibu home, by which I mean it wasn\\u2019t some grotesque mega-mansion snubbing its nose at the land and everyone around it, but rather a beautiful and expansive 2-story country home, sweetly nestled into the trees and hills surrounding it, the kinda place you\\u2019d expect to be welcomed with a glass of iced-lemonade and stories on the porch before retiring to a guest bedroom bigger than your living room.
\\nBut what I stepped into was far beyond anything I\\u2019d ever imagined before.
\\nAfter the 9/11 tragedy in 2001, Leigh went to work on turning his entire 2nd floor into an artwork of epic, visionary proportions, the likes of which I\\u2019ve only seen rivaled in places like Salvador Dali\\u2019s fantastic home in Spain and artist Alex Grey\\u2019s mind-bending Chapel of Sacred Mirrors in New York City.
\\nAnyway, I can\\u2019t even begin to describe Leigh\\u2019s home, and I want to get into this conversation, which, I caution you, you will have to listen deeply, and you may have to listen a few times, because interspersed throughout what may seem like an intensely philosophical conversation, Leigh says some of the most beautiful and profound things you\\u2019ll ever hear: like, \\u201cthere are no evil atoms,\\u201d and, \\u201cI have to tell my wife and my daughters, it is their love that has healed me,\\u201d \\u2026 and \\u201cWe are coming out of the age of the father – I think therefore I am – and entering the age of the mother (\\u201ci love therefore I am\\u201d)\\u201d
\\nSo, grab your lemonade and a seat on the porch \\u2013 I saved a rocking chair for you \\u2013 and listen well, all the way through to Leigh’s 5 Key Takeaway’s at the end of this episode of Men, This Way \\u2026
\\nAlright \\u2026
