Decades Doing Clay | John Tilton | Episode 956

Our guest today is John Tilton, a world-renowned porcelain potter and veteran meditator who brings four decades of focused inner work in a dynamic spiritual community to his art form. And the results are truly breathtaking. You can see the remarkable results of his dedicated awareness coupled with his passionate and skillful talent at his website, tiltonpottery.com. Our discussion today is very practice-oriented, a rare peek at the ongoing dialogue between a devoted seeker of Truth and the subtle energies that influence that pursuit. We discuss the nuances of his ongoing ‘conversation’ with the subtle Energy one becomes aware of as they continue to refine their perception through deep spiritual inquiry. These are the often-subtle promptings, feelings, and directives that all mystics of all traditions have spoken and written about, though we all experience them. But our conversation is practical and very real. John discusses the 200+ real-world variables that he deals with on a daily basis as he engages his art form with his beautiful creations. He discusses the perseverance needed to test these variables in what has resulted in more than 30,000 glaze tests, all formulations he personally developed. John is an early adopter of the Eastern yogic lifestyle which he has been living very intentionally for more than four decades. The creativity and perseverance he brings to his craft, largely informed by his daily meditation and contemplative lifestyle. He says, “I make the pots I love to make. I continue to be inspired and informed by historical pottery, by a fascination with the micro- and macro-universes, and by my lifelong effort to quiet the mind through meditation.” John TiltonWe hope you enjoy this conversation with a truly talented artist and a very deeply spiritual person.  You will find an expanded introduction and all the show notes, links, resources, and a glossary of terms at our websites here below.. To directly contact our hosts, visit their respective websites:https://www.meditatenow.net - Show Notes, Links and Resources, including Glossary of Terms for all Episodes and to contact Marc directly. https://larryholmespracticalwisdom.com/ - For All Episodes and to contact Larry directly and review his consulting and coaching services.
