What would love do?

This is my interview with Daniel Levin from the Mosaic Podcast. Daniel interviewed me and we explore plenty of beautiful questions.
Here is what you will hear on this podcast
- The amazing feeling of meeting a stranger and feeling like you have known them for years- That moment where Angell made a life-changing decision to leave running a major global corporation to do the spiritual work that his soul needed that brought him to open up a retreat in the Catskills called The Sanctuary- We only change when life becomes unacceptable- The real feelings that came when he made this decision- Hear what he felt when he saw himself 40 years down the line- The moment he collapsed walking off the stage of receiving a big award and seeing what success is- Did he ever think to go back to life he used to do?- The search for meaning and what we give meaning to- What are you praying for?- The early warning signs that it is time to give up what we know we have to give up but are scared to give up.- The technique to fast forward our life to the moment we are on our deathbed and to ask are with happy with the life we have lived.- The unresolved question of purpose, the pain it causes and the process of numbing that pain- If you were to die tomorrow, god forbid, would you be happy with the life that you have lived or is the music of your life still unseen inside your soul?- The fear of plunging into love and giving ourselves entirely so that we can be the person we want to be unveiled- The experience of oneness and the fear that came- The revealing of the shadow and the beautiful opportunity to feel it- A different helpful view of fear- The Shamanic path lives in the middle- An exquisite image of a mother with no arms the Buddhist call compassion- The work he does is an invitation to a way of life, a shift of being and a change of narrativethe butterfly effect of love- What surprised him most about the second version of his life- The beautiful capacity we have to really connect and what happens when we do.- The paradox of my life is not about me, it is about others and there is no others.- What medicine do we bring that allows the CEO to heal the Shaman and the Shaman to heal the CEOthe hopeful pessimist and the hopeless optimist

Coronavirus Pandemic - A spiritual perspective

Dear community, As you are well aware now, we have entered a global pandemic with the spread of the Coronavirus (Covid-19). This pandemic does not know any borders and does not discriminate who can or will be contaminated. Beyond countries, colors, religions, wealth, all of us are called to take all the necessary steps to protect ourselves, our communities, our families and the most vulnerable ones with fragile or challenged immunity. Very rarely on Earth are we facing such threats aside from climate change and ecological collapse that despite being less relayed as an emergency on the media and news channel, are probably an even biggest threat to humanity as we know it. In any times of challenges, we are called as spiritual beings, and human beings, to stay informed and face the world with a deeper sense of compassion, care, and love, embodied into concrete actions. Yet another pandemic is very obviously rampant. Fear. Anxiety. Anger. Disconnection. And this one we also have the power to change it! So on this video below that I recorded for you, I wanted to share about all this: What can we do? How to deal with fear, stress & anxiety? How to take care of ourselves and our communities? How to stay connected with each other with deeper care and compassion? And how to open our hearts to the challenges we are facing... We are ALL called into stepping deeply into our own healer!

The Mystical Positivist - Part 1 - Interview

"The Mystical Positivist," is dedicated to the application of reason in the pursuit of spiritual practice and development. I look to this format to be challenging and a bit controversial in that the New Age community tends to have an overly romantic picture of the gritty pursuit of spiritual transformation. My thesis is that rationality is in no way the antithesis of deep mystical experience, in fact, I assert that it is a necessary ally - hence the blog name "Mystical Positivist."
