Description

Is enlightenment what we think it is?

Is following a guru the right path for spiritual seekers?

Jonathan Robinson is the author of the new book, The Enlightenment Project. Over the past 40 years, he has interviewed some of the most influential spiritual leaders of our time, including the Dalai Lama, Ram Dass, and Mother Teresa, and has been a frequent guest on The Oprah Show. In this episode, we talk a lot about enlightenment - what it is (you might be surprised!), common misconceptions, how people get there, what tracks often do NOT lead there, and so much more!

• The different levels and types of enlightenment, and examples of methods which do or do not lead to it.
• The pros and cons of the guru-disciple relationship, and whether it still serves a purpose in modern life.
• What is the risk of getting too comfortable in our spiritual seeking?
• What do many spiritual masters have to say about the purpose of life?
• Jonathan shares a fascinating, mysterious story that defies logic.
