BEHIND THE GRID PODCAST
[Worldviews Worth Exploring]
I find passionate people making heart-felt waves in the world and I share not only what they do, but also their unique ways of viewing the world that inspire them to do it.
Much Love, Chris Owl

MY STORY
I grew up Charismatic Christian and then left that faith to become  materialist Atheist. This was a natural result of me witnessing  hypocrisy in the church while making friends in my new advertising  career. But the Universe had different plans for me!  Just as I was about to secure a significant position in a major  advertising agency, I experienced a massive vision through DMT where Spirit came to me in the form of Ganesh and healed a major mental wound  which had been blocking my heart for years.
After experiencing God in  this unexpected way, I could no longer spend my life promoting consumer  products I didnât believe in â and I quit my career in advertising just  as it started.  I felt lost with my life plan being dashed in a moment of Divine Clarity  â but I had to know what this Universe was all about and how it worked!  So I spent the next 3 years exploring all the most intense spiritual  practices from all the cultures across the world - from 10 day silent  Buddhist retreats, to Amazon jungle medicines, to 40-day Kundalini Sadhanas, to Native sweat lodges, to Western Occultist rituals, and Hatha Yoga intensives in India (to name a few).
Eventually in my meditation practice I had what the Buddhists would call an Awakening (not the same as Enlightenment). I saw the nature of my mind and, although there really  arenât words to describe it, it changed my life. I realized I could do  absolutely ANYTHING and so I asked God what the BIGGEST possible thing I  could do is. I felt a wave of deep grief as I saw the world ignorantly  fighting and killing each other over the different ways they view our  Universe. All these different names and concepts and grids, all seeing  the same Ultimate Reality from different perspectives â like the  proverbial blind men feeling the Elephant.
And so I accepted my Mission. I will do my part to build communication  between different cultures and religions so we can enter a Golden Age of  Harmony across Humanity. I will set a new standard for discussion on  worldviews, one where we view worldviews with curiosity always looking  to see what we can learn from our brothers and sisters around us. And so  I put myself out into the public eye by launching BEHIND THE GRID â a  podcast that features Worldviews Worth Exploring across all cultures and  religions.
