About this listen
- Podcast:
This week on The Mystical Positivist, we feature a talk given by hosts Stuart Goodnick and Robert Schmidt at Many Rivers Books & Tea on July 10, 2025. The talk title is The Practice of Patriotism, and the description is as follows: The present moment is fraught with political tension and polarization. Many of us are left wondering what it means to be an American. Spiritual practitioners ask, "what am I called to do in this moment?" Some traditions assert that activism and protest are valid ways to be engaged practitioners. Yet such assertions put the focus on what to do rather than on how to do it. In this talk, Tayu Meditation teachers, Robert Schmidt and Stuart Goodnick, will explore the path to becoming a true American and how the practice of patriotism is less about what actions we take and more about the place within ourselves whence these actions arise. This talk was inspired by an article Stuart Goodnick wrote in 2001 after the Twin Towers fell in New York City. Before commencing with the talk itself, there is the reading of that original article.
Rob Schmidt and Stuart Goodnick are spiritual teachers with Tayu Meditation Center, co-hosts of The Mystical Positivist podcast, and co-founders of Many Rivers Books & Tea. Tayu Meditation Center, based in Sebastopol, CA, was founded in 1976 by Robert Daniel Ennis. Grounded in the Fourth Way tradition of G.I. Gurdjieff, Tayu practice emphasises conversation be it within ourselves, with others, and between spiritual traditions.
