Hey everybody this is Tim Chavez from Faith Matters. Our guest today is a

longtime friend and collaborator and an incredibly unique voice in the Latter-day Saint

tradition Thomas McConkey Thomas is an author developmental, and meditation teacher who's been practicing

under masters in the traditions of Sufism, Buddhism, and Christian contemplation, among others

for over 25 years.

Thomas is the founder of Lower Light School of Wisdom and is currently

researching and writing on transformative spiritual practice at Harvard Divinity School.

He's also the author of a brand new book published by Faith Matters publishing called At OneMint,

embodying the fullness of human divinity. This is, in our opinion, a monumentally important

work and one that has the capacity to powerfully change the way we see the world.

The book reminds us that much of Christianity has spent centuries focusing on what to believe.

Thomas redirects this conversation to the simple but potent practices we can engage in body, heart, mind, and spirit to awaken us to a greater measure of the sacred right here and now.

At one moment becomes a spiritual reality in which we can all participate, not just a historical event in which a select few believe.

In our conversation, we covered some important themes from the book, including how we can all at once seek transformation and already feel whole. How we are both individuals and yet

deeply connected to everything and everyone around us. And how the mind, while indispensable

and so prominent in our modern society, is far from the only way of knowing.

We really encourage you to pick up this book.

It's available now on Amazon and we think it makes a great gift as well.

And as a note for those interested, Thomas will also be leading a three day retreat in

Salt Lake City in May 2024 diving deeper into the concepts behind at OneMent.

Please check out the episode notes for more details.

Thanks so much as always for listening and we really hope that you
