Monastic Personality E-Course

Each of us, to a greater or lesser extent, has a monastic personality. It is a universal quality of the deep self and a desire of the heart to seek silence and solitude. In this lecture, Dr. Lanzetta discusses how people often live for many years unaware of their contemplative natures. Found along every spectrum of the personality map—extroverted, introverted, intuitive and so forth—the contemplative soul has an intrinsic need for silence and solitude. Among the other attributes of this type of person is great sensitivity, search for truth, a permeable consciousness, and an intense need for freedom of expression.
