17 DAYS OF SPIRITUAL WISDOM

#188 – The emptiness at the heart of mainstream spirituality

Something is very wrong with mainstream spirituality — and chances are, you’ve felt it too.

The movement that was meant to guide us toward enlightenment has, in many ways, become a marketplace — selling basic self-improvement, material success, and fleeting personal happiness dressed up in spiritual language.

In this week’s show, international bestselling author and spiritual teacher Richard Lawrence takes an unflinching look at what’s gone wrong with the Mind-Body-Spirit movement — and the simple fix that everyone can make.

Tune in to discover:

  • The “elephant in the room” at the heart of manifestation culture — and why getting everything you want could actually be a curse
  • How to recognize “spiritual materialism”
  • Why selfless service is the true engine of spiritual development, kundalini awakening, and, ultimately, ascension
  • A key to unblocking your chakras and making your spiritual practices MUCH more powerful
  • The one simple question you can ask to determine whether you are genuinely on a spiritual path that will take you to enlightenment

Don’t miss it!

    Great Great podcast. I love the way you point out the flaws of the mainstream spirituality without passing judgement while at the same time highlighting the noble teaching of a great master His Eminence Sir George King in an unobtrusive yet strong manner.
    Thankyou.

      Thanks, Barb! Spirituality has so much more to offer people than what they’re being “sold” – a genuine path to Enlightenment and a way to help others, even the world. Blessings, Darren
