What Buddhists call Enlightenment, some Christians have called Union with God. Jesse dives into the Jesus stuff you don't hear about at your local church, and has a bunch of (third)eye opening quotes from Jesus mystics and monks, like Gregory of Nyssa, Meister Eckhart, John of the Cross and more.

My time with Christianity didn't give me a deep transformation of self, but Buddhism did. Buddhists are more like Jesus than most Christians. Weird, right? Tune in for more.

Some are too closed off from connection, in the name of "independence," when it's really just self-centered isolation.

Is interior and personal growth easy or hard? Is it possible we have seen it all wrong? Instead of hard work, like lifting weights or running marathons, what if meditation and similar practices, were more like letting go of the hard things holding us down? Forget picking up dumbbells, what about letting heavy chains fall off of us? True spiritual growth makes life easier, not harder, and getting to that point is easy as well. Listen in to this backwards approach to mental growth. Forget spirituality, this is spiritual-easy! 

Are you a victim and servant to your mind? To thoughts? To emotions? Is there an easy way to be free from mind's control? From your own internal activity manipulating and dominating your habits, behaviors and states of being? Find some freedom in this spontaneous dharma talk given by Jesse. 

F**k conservative religion! And screw flaky head-in-the-cloud-er's! Is that all spirituality has to offer? What about us normal humans? I present to you "Non-Spiritual Spirituality," a lifestyle that sets and keeps you free from human brokenness, minus the life-denying-rules, exclusionary culture, weirdness, and the like. You can be a normal, down to earth, regular human being, and also be spiritual, content, kind and always-relaxed. Have a fresh look at what spirituality can mean for you.
