Welcome to The PAGL podcast, a collection of dialogues with Thomas Hora, M.D., the inspired founder of Metapsychiatry, in live recordings of meetings with his students occurring over many years. PAGL is an acronym for Peace, Assurance, Gratitude, and Love, spiritual qualities we become aware of when we have caught a glimpse of divine Truth and are on the "right track” with our lives.
