In this episode, I delve into the profound implications of man's inability to sit alone with his thoughts. Drawing from philosophy, science, and personal experiences, I discuss how this struggle is the root cause of many of our problems. I also share a compelling study that reveals just how far people will go to avoid being alone with their thoughts. Tune in to discover why mastering the art of solitude could be the key to unlocking a more peaceful, fulfilling life.

Blaise Pascal, mathématicien et inventeur de génie, était doté d'une intelligence hors du commun. Toute sa vie, pourtant, en usant de sa raison, il a défendu la foi contre la raison. L'incessant dialogue qu'il mène dans ses Pensées est une quête pour découvrir un « plus grand » que lui-même au milieu des espaces infinis du monde.
Conférence pour les 400 ans de la naissance de Blaise Pascal, né le 19 juin 1623.

Nouvelle Acropole est une organisation philosophique présente dans plus de 50 pays depuis 1957, et vise à développer en chaque être humain ce qu'il y a de meilleur, à travers la Philosophie, la Culture et le Volontariat .

Everyone who has ever walked the face of the earth has been made by God for a relationship with God. Because our rebellion and sin has severed that relationship, there remains a deep yearning inside each human being to have that relationship restored. Whether our teenagers know what to call it or not, Blaise Pascal described this universal hole in the soul as a god-shaped vacume. Alister McGrath describes Pascal’s model as “a God-shaped emptiness within us, which only God can fill. We may try to fill it in other ways and with other things. Yet one of the few certainties of life is that nothing in this world satisfies our longing for something that is ultimately beyond this world.” While it may at times seem like it isn’t so, your teenager is no different than anyone else. His great need is to have this God-shaped emptiness filled by God. Even when they don’t recognize it as such, we can rest in the assurance that their hunger is for heaven, and our calling is to point them to the Cross.

In this brief episode, I reflect a bit on the Copernican Revolution and its influence on us! 

As we prepare to celebrate Mother’s Day, I thought it would be good to spend our week looking at some helpful parenting truths. Today’s truth is this: Our teenagers were made to be in a relationship with God. Because our rebellion has severed our relationship with God, there remains a deep yearning inside each human being to have that relationship restored. Blaise Pascal described this universal hole in the soul as a god-shaped vacuum. Teenagers are no different than anyone else. Their great need is to have this God-shaped emptiness filled by God. If you listen and look closely, you’ll see and hear that their music, films, books, magazines, and very lives are crying out for spiritual wholeness. Each of us can look directly in the eyes of the teenagers we know and love and be certain that this is their reality. Each one hungers for heaven. Parents, this should spur us on to constantly and consciously serve as signposts, pointing kids to the cross and their true home.

Preview: T.S. Eliot once wrote, “I can think of no Christian writer… more to be commended than Pascal to those who doubt, but have the mind to conceive, and the sensibility to feel, the disorder, the futility, the meaninglessness, the mystery of life and suffering, and who can only find peace through a satisfaction of the whole being.” At the next ToT, we will be looking at the life and work of the 17th century French mathematician and philosopher, Blaise Pascal, a man who peculiarly embodied the anxieties of his age and ours, anticipating the intellectual quandaries of Christian belief posed by the Zeitgeists of the modern and post-moderns worlds.
