<p>If we value peace, justice, equality, and respect for all life, and yet society doesn’t reflect those values, then if we want those values to be a reality we need to change society to better reflect them. This is, at its core, what “politics” really means. This episode explains why we need to understand how our values translate to the political spectrum, and where current candidates, parties and issues stand on that spectrum, if we want our spirituality to actually make the world a better place.

#5 – Fascism, Racism, and the New Age

Like most contemporary people stepping outside of mainstream religion and looking for new spiritual ideas that better fit what I felt in my heart, I started with the New Age. However, over time I came to realize that many of these new spiritual ideas are still rooted in the old paradigm they sought to break away from. This podcast exists to challenge these problematic ideas, from the perspective of someone who believes in and practices modern-day spirituality. My desire is to bring contemporary, non-religious spirituality back down to earth, so it can truly fulfill its potential of helping people heal and leading humanity toward a brighter future.
