About this listen

 Rare is the person who can get through a day without feeling as if nothing could have been improved. Perhaps rare is overstating it. It seems everyone has something, often many things, in their life that they wish were better in some way. Sometimes it’s the little things that bother us—like a phone distracting us with beeps, dings, or lighting up while we’re trying to have a face-to-face conversation. At other times, it’s a larger problem, like the inability to resolve a conflict with our partner. And then there are all the things in between, whether that’s wishing we were in better shape, wanting our memory to be sharper, that our sleep was more refreshing, or even feeling that there is something missing in our lives and desiring to feel a connection to something bigger than ourselves. There are all sorts of ways we could improve our lives… if only we had the tools to do so. None of us is perfect; we are all works in progress, evolving in our own way and direction. The tools in this podcast are simply here to help when we want our progress to be better or more structured.

    Some people who call themselves spiritual leaders are brimming with charm and charisma and hold out tempting promises of enlightenment and inner peace. They may or may not live up to these claims, and their legitimacy can be hard to evaluate. Therefore, you should listen to your own inner wisdom and decide for yourself.

  • Beware the Spiritual Ego

    Beware the Spiritual Ego
    Sep 9 2025

    When we embark on a path of spiritual inquiry, our default attitude is to approach this process with the same goal-oriented mindset we are used to applying in other areas of our lives. This can twist spirituality into something we excel at, potentially obscuring the reasons why we began this journey in the first place.

    Enlightenment Is Always Now
    Aug 19 2025

    People often embark on their spiritual path after seeking various material goals, such as money or power. After a while, they realize these goals are empty and don’t lead to happiness, and they begin to seek spiritual goals, especially perpetual enlightenment. If you can learn to accept that enlightenment is neither a permanent state to attain nor a goal to pursue, this realization can diminish your suffering and help you stay present in the current world.
