Our guest Emily asks for a clear definition of Enlightenment. Jonni describes Enlightenment as a knowingness of oneness and reveals the importance of this an experience directly and not just an idea to be contemplated on the level of thinking. He presents the concept of human awareness as being infinite in its nature and describes how we’re all working out how to be infinite while existing within finite boundaries. Racheal poses a very interesting connecting question, do we still feel emotions in an enlightened state?

Welcome back! Our guest Allie Oishi asks “If we are all at our essence, love. Why must we go through struggles, pain and suffering to find our way back to our nature of love?

Jonni suggests that our personal suffering is an extension of the suffering that we inflict on the planet and it’s inhabitants. But zooming out further what we find is that it’s all a beautiful chapter of awakening on a global scale.
