(An Interview on the “Unraveling Religion” Podcast with Joel Lesses) In this dialogue, Rich and Joel seek to understand awakening, awareness, and enlightenment in relation to identity. Rich and Joel discuss congruence and authencity in relation to our human experience, and the distractions from living a genuine life. Krishnamurti and Tolstoy, Ghandi and Confucius, Rumi and Rilke, Plato and Heidegger are called on to aid us in examining these questions. “Is there spiritual redemption” – how do we know and how do we find it? In religion and spirituality what is the difference between belief and experience? How is expectation a barrier to living a genuine life? What is intrinsic to all of us?
Richard Grego is a Philosopher and Historian at Florida State College.
