Episode 15: Spirituality

While our physical reality appears absolute, the fundamental nature of reality is spiritual. But what is spirituality and what does it mean to be truly spiritual? How do we define, cultivate, and practice spirituality in this day and age without becoming entangled in ideology? 

This week Jost and Leon get spiritual. But instead of lighting candles and chanting they're instead talking about Teslas, V8’s, martial arts, dualistic cats and masterless samurai. In this episode Jost and Leon talk about humour as an essential part of spiritual journey, and how true masters know how to have a good laugh. They also talk about the relationship between being easily offended and the rise of spiritual disconnection, which is in turn making us disconnected from our true selves and our purpose. Jost talks about the necessity of working with - and learning from - nature, and how we are here to enhance what nature has to offer and make the world a better place, and Leon talks about spiritual warriors of feudal Japan and their connection to the wild west. 

Jost and Leon also discuss the hypocrisy of the new age, how one might go about walking on water, and how to hand over the burdens of daily life to the universe. They also discuss doctrine vs doing; practicing spirituality instead of treating it as purely a concept, and how it is imperative to feel good first if we are to do good in the world, and be authentically good to each other.
