According to a recent Harvard study, 43% of the world is currently going through a ‘spiritual awakening’, and yet very few people are talking about it. If this is news to you you’re either in the other 57%, or you’re experiencing something you can’t quite explain (let alone describe to anyone else). In a time of unprecedented upheaval, where more social disruption has occurred in 4 years than in the past 40, having a sudden realisation that there is more to life than what we see in the mundane world is probably a good response.
The signs are everywhere than an old age is coming to an end and a new age is emerging on planet earth, and we need to consult sources beyond the physical to find the way forward. The pursuit, cultivation and practice of spirituality is a huge part of this critical path, but thanks to the New Age and a lot of other half-assed approaches, the whole ‘being spiritual’ thing has unfortunately lost its street cred.
In this episode, Jost and Leon have a deeply spiritual talk about the fact that you can’t talk about spirituality; it’s something that you have to do. Jost gets into his background in social pedagogy, current experiences in his clinic, and the challenge of how to treat young people with old souls. He also talks about the links between Chinese Medicine, Taoism and spirituality, and how our energy organs create a roadmap to being truly spiritual. Jost also chats about the the emerging souls with ideas and solutions that the world badly needs. Leon talks about Buckminster Fuller and the importance of microscopic adjustments - in both nautical engineering and martial arts- that can result in massive change.
Jost and Leon also talk about Lao Tzu’s rebellious writing of the Hua Hu Ching, Jost’s beloved Yamaha FJ1200 and meeting a master, and how to redefine spirituality for the modern age; treating the body, treating the soul, and learning to know what’s there.
