About this episode

Joel and Yerasimos discuss the misconceptions surrounding spirituality and the importance of authentic self-discovery.

What if most of what we've been sold as spirituality is actually the opposite of it — a doctrine that calls self-erasure enlightenment, a path that asks you to amputate the parts of yourself most needed for a sovereign life? In this rap on authentic spirituality, Joel and Yerasimos name the territory directly: the new cage of asceticism, gnosticism, and the love-and-light bypass that disguises dissociation as awakening; the platitudes that gloss over reality instead of meeting it; the body as the warehouse of self-knowledge; and anger, when reclaimed, as one of the most generative forces a human being has access to. The spiritual assignment is becoming yourself — the lifelong work of knowing who you actually are and living in congruence with what you find.
