In this episode of the Transcendiots webcast we talk with Swedenborgian John Gwynn about how he utilized teachings from Gurdjieff's Fourth Way and Swedenborg's Christian mysticism to tap into a deeper consciousness. Watch and listen as John describes how his unique interfaith approach led him on a path to greater eternal transformation and growth, and even helped him read seemingly judgmental Scripture text in a new, life-affirming light.

In this episode of the Transcendiots webcast we talk with Swedenborgian pastor Junchol Lee about how the God-less philosophies of Buddhism and Taoism led him to the God-centered aspect of Christianity.

Watch and listen as Rev. Lee describes how mystical experiences affirmed his unique interfaith approach to life and brought him back to a life of ministry after a time of doubt.
