Virtue. Does that word sound boring? Biblical writers used it to describe something strong and dynamic.

For today’s episode, I recorded with author Donald Robertson about his new book ‘Marcus Aurelius: The Stoic Emperor.’ 

The book brings Marcus Aurelius to life for a new generation by exploring the emperor’s fascinating psychological journey. Robertson examines Marcus’s relationships with key figures in his life, such as his mother, the emperor Hadrian, and his Stoic tutors. He draws extensively on Marcus’s own Meditations and correspondence, and he examines the emperor’s actions as detailed in the Augustan History and other ancient texts.

Donald Robertson is a writer, cognitive-behavioral psychotherapist, and trainer. He is one of the founding members of the Modern Stoicism nonprofit and the founder and president of the Plato’s Academy Centre nonprofit in Athens, Greece. Robertson is an expert on the relationship between modern evidence-based psychotherapy and classical Greek and Roman philosophy. He specializes in teaching evidence-based psychological skills. His work is highly interdisciplinary, combining philosophy, history, and psychology.

Living In The Wonder of Christ | Rod Dreher

Carry The Flame

“Carry the Flame” is a soulful blues chant inspired by the timeless wisdom of the Lotus Sutra. This song captures the unwavering resilience of those who vow to uphold truth and light in the face of adversity. With themes of kindness, patience, and interconnectedness, it serves as a heartfelt reminder of the strength found in virtue and the enduring power of compassion. Let the flame guide you on your journey of self-discovery and enlightenment.


[Refrain]
Oh, the strength of kindness builds my home,
Forbearance clothes me, I’m not alone.
In peaceful arms, I find the light,
Truth and love gonna guide my fight.

[Verse 1]
Dreadful times are comin’, I can see,
Men so wicked, bound by greed.
Mockin’ truth, but we’ll stand tall,
Spread this Sūtra to one and all.

[Refrain]
Oh, the strength of kindness builds my home,
Forbearance clothes me, I’m not alone.
In peaceful arms, I find the light,
Truth and love gonna guide my fight.

[Verse 2]
They’ll come with lies, they’ll tear us down,
Twistin’ words to spread their sound.
But the girdle of patience keeps me whole,
For the Chief of the world, I’ll give my soul.

[Bridge] (Instrumental—guitar solo)

[Verse 3]
Evil monks with hearts so cold,
Preach for profit, chasin’ gold.
But we’ll endure, through stick and stone,
Our hearts in truth, we’re never alone.

[Refrain]
Oh, the strength of kindness builds my home,
Forbearance clothes me, I’m not alone.
In peaceful arms, I find the light,
Truth and love gonna guide my fight.

[Verse 4]
Body or life, we won’t defend,
The Sūtra’s flame, we’ll never bend.
Through towns and lands, we’ll spread His name,
Proclaim the truth, and light the flame.

[Refrain – Repeat Twice]
Oh, the strength of kindness builds my home,
Forbearance clothes me, I’m not alone.
In peaceful arms, I find the light,
Truth and love gonna guide my fight.

[Outro – Slow Fade]
Guide my fight, oh, guide my fight,
Truth and love, in the peaceful light…

Welcome to the musical world of The William Altig Choir, where ancient wisdom meets contemporary sound.

Inspired by the teachings of the Lotus Sutra and infused with deep spiritual themes, my music blends the rich traditions of blues and folk with modern elements, creating a unique fusion that resonates with both the heart and soul.

I've been captivated by the Lotus Sutra's messages of compassion, wisdom, and transformation since my youth. It's a journey of self-discovery that has found its voice in my music. Each song is a reflection of my own spiritual awakening and a celebration of universal truths.

My style is characterized by emotive storytelling, powerful lyrics, and a commitment to exploring the depths of human experience. Featuring contemplative blues, acoustic slide guitar, saxophone melodies, and the harmonies of a gospel choir, my music reflects a quest for enlightenment and a better understanding of the self.

Join me on this musical journey. Together, we can explore the teachings of the Lotus Sutra, finding solace, hope, and a deeper connection to the world around us.
