Welcome to the Being Known Podcast

with my friend Dr Kurt Dawson.

My friend Pepper Sweeney. Where friend, Pepper Sweeney.

Where we explore and discover what it means to be truly known.

On today's podcast, we're going to get emotional. This is what it's all about today, so just be prepared.

Get your Kleenex boxes and whatever you're going to need to get through this next 30 or 40 minutes as two men.

You second that emotion?

You second that emotion, Kurt? I do. I second that emotion, Pep.

Kue the music.

Yeah, exactly. PEP, cue the music.

Yeah, exactly.

So, you know, with all the things

that we've been talking about over the past few weeks,

why does that lead us to a motion? How is a motion tied to all of these other things?

probably two to 400 years is that we've kind of imagined that the human person

is divided into these different, that our mind is divided into these different

sections, these different compartments and that we've got a thinking compartment and

we have a body compartment and we have an emotional

compartment and that emotion is this separate thing altogether and we think of it as this thing that we can either be or not be.

Oh, he or she, they're being so emotional

as if it's this thing that I can choose to be or not to be, not to be all Shakespearean or whatever.
