Ram Dass has suggested that we should think of ourselves in terms of “souls, not roles.” Out of this concept came a new podcast "Rock and Roles" hosted by Danny Goldberg. Danny has made his living in the rock and roll business as a journalist, PR guy, record company President and manager since the late 1960's when he was still a teenager. "Rock and Roles" explores how music has both drawn Danny closer to spirituality—and also helped snare him in an obsession with his “role” in the business including concerns about money, status, or seeing his name in print.
Rick Jarow, Ph.D. is Associate Professor of Religious Studies at Vasser College and is the author of the books “Creating the Work You Love, and“The Alchemy of Abundance.”He is a pioneer of the “anti-career movement,” who integrates an awareness of many spiritual traditions with the pressures of day to day Western life.
At age 19, Rick left Harvard University and traveled for seven years throughout Europe and India. This pilgrimage is partially recounted in his first book, “In Search of the Sacred. At age 26, he returned to the West to complete a doctoral program at Columbia University, where he received a Ph.D. in Indian Languages and Literatures and in New York he became also a student of Hilda Charlton for many of the years when I also attended Hilda’s meetings and mediations.
