A Question for You
These are the last days of summer, and I have spent the last few days playing golf at St Andrews, Scotland – the home of golf.
My host was David Lorimer, the Global Ambassador for the Scientific and Medical Network (SMN) , which I am a member of, and regularly promote through my work.
On one round, David and I were joined by Bill, a forensic bibliographer, and David, a former warden at Oxford University.
Imagine the scene: four philosophers – from 59 to 82 years old – attempting to hit golf balls around St. Andrews. Bill likes to use an old hickory iron – a club used by the legends of golf a hundred years ago.
I had a go with it. It’s a bit like putting your way around the course. And amazingly, I got a par on the 164-yard Par Three.
Truthfully, the golf was a bit dodgy at times, but we enjoyed the most inspiring and exhilarating conversation about philosophy, love, politics, Robert Burns (the Scottish poet), The Webb Telescope, the hero’s journey, the enneagram, and more.
At one point, David talked to us about the last book Albert Schweitzer wrote called Reverence for Life. In it, Schweitzer reflected on the question: What is progress? He identified three types of progress: progress in technology, progress in socialization (how we create a society), and progress in spirituality. He said that the last of these is the most important.
Schweitzer encouraged us to think about our spiritual progress. He said that our task, is …. “to become more finely and deeply human.”
I love the sound of these words. They invite a terrific inquiry and a call to action. So, my question to you is . . .

I encourage you to spend a few minutes with this inquiry when you next meditate and/or journal.
I wish you a beautiful day.
Robert
P.S. Bonus: A Cloud of Unknowing reading. Here is a short film of a reading from the Cloud of Unknowing that I did for my Metanoia Mastermind program. I did it here in Findhorn, in the Original Garden.
