Mindrolling and Raghu have a new best friend! Jake Sasseville of the Jake Sasseville podcast is a unique human who has been in show biz from a very early age.
Jake shares a very traumatic family story which eventually tripped him onto the spiritual path in a very substantial way. Raghu shares Ram Dass’ words in respect to Jake’s reflections on suffering – “Every moment of your life is your vehicle for awakening”.
R&J chat about the tension between taking actions in your life and the reality that everything is already written and we just need to relax and let Grace happen.
Also on the table is a discussion around the seven ways spiritual people bullshit themselves. #1 being the power of positive thinking – Raghu admits to his disdain for the new age model and his subsequent reaction to his own judgmental mind. We always have to remember though that there is more than one motivation for every action we take – why not focus on the positive?
