Does humanity really need religion? - S2, Episode 6 - With Yoga Fusion Founder Greg Riley
10/18/20 • 68 min
We invite you to pursue clarity and embrace the evolution of your own spirit. How can we keep our consciousness and understanding fresh? Together in this episode, we reflect on spirituality, religion, and what it takes to unleash pure love.
When you know what you don’t want, you know what you do want. Life is an amazing adventure, and we are all here to discover our purpose and calling to achieve true fulfillment. No one has an easy journey, and a lot of us have to hit rock bottom before finding peace and true joy. It is up to us then to transform pain and suffering into gold and pure love.
Today’s episode is very special, as we are joined by Yoga Fusion’s founder Greg Riley to have an enlightened conversation around religion, spirituality, and clarity. Humans evolve and change, and so do our beliefs, so how can we keep our consciousness fresh? How can we keep updating and upgrading our own softwares to keep growing? Our intention for today is to achieve clarity and a higher level of consciousness to be able to find the answers we are looking for. Join us to better understand the importance of looking inward and nurturing our souls, as we acknowledge the beauty of change and evolution.
Take inspired action:
Practice the presence and the present: stay aware of your energy and notice how you respond, not react.
Visit your well at least once a day and update your software: check on your consciousness, beliefs, and understanding to keep them fresh.
Tell your radical stories of recovery: empower others to have realizations, awakenings, and transformations of their own. Do so with grace and truth.
Today’s Key Takeaways:
(02:30) - Why practicing the presence and present influence our clarity.
(07:15) - How pain guided Greg into finding his life’s purpose and healing his heart.
(21:12) - The pursuit of meaning through beliefs: how people choose to navigate their lives.
(29:14) - Is 2020 meant to be a spiritual awakening?
(31:38) - The true difference between being spiritual and religious.
(36:32) - Keep your soul fresh: how to update and upgrade your own consciousness and beliefs.
(46:28) - How fascinating storytelling gives birth to entire religions and spiritual systems.
(54:55) - We all have a story: our journeys are not about comparison, but about growth.
