What is unlived life? We can hear its distant drumbeat in our inward mutterings about what we would have, could have, or should have done. It arises in mysterious longing or unexpected grief that come seemingly out of nowhere. We all carry with us a vast inventory of unlived life. No matter how full our lives are, there are significant experiences that have been closed to each of us. For everything we choose, something remains unchosen. In this lecture, we will explore how the promptings and callings of the unlived life are an invitation to consciousness: an expansion of our vision and our capacity to embrace the full measure of our being.
