Episode notes

i love that idea, by choosing the things you do, you can actually be reminded more easily that life is about a spiritual practice. And if we're not bringing that kind of poetry an that kind of dance and that kind of play to life in every capacity, it oesn't mean we're wrong or we're bad or anything. There's nothing to lose. But we're missing out. So i wondered if maybe we would talk about, you've written about some people that have really inspired you. And i picked three of the ones that show up most often, ken wilbur, romina, mharshy and allan watts.

Sebastian Siegel is a British American screenwriter, director, author, and actor from Oxford, England. His new movie is Grace and Grit, based on the American philosopher Ken Wilber’s, 1991 memoir. John Mackey had to say about the new movie, “This movie will shake you, and maybe even awaken you in some way. This movie is a must-see, especially for anyone interested in love or consciousness.”

In this episode, Eric and Sebastian discuss his movie, Grace and Grit.
