Have you noticed the trend in the spiritual/new age community where some (many) spiritual teachers sugar coat the entire spiritual journey with the love & light mantra, all the while seeming to gloss over the actual real life muck of human existence? Pain and suffering are so much a part of our world that the Buddha made his First Truth that all life is suffering, pain, and misery. So we wondered: can we even reach the love and light without first digging deep down into our anger, shame, and fears? Are positive-thinking, new-age platitudes actually perpetuating spiritual bypass? Does light DEMAND dark? Today we talk to Andye Murphy, aka the Rock N Roll Shaman, to dive deep into the dark and discuss what it really requires to activate our light!
