Summary

This unique 'Bootleg Broadcast' episode of the show is a live recording of a recent talk I gave in West Hollywood California, to celebrate my 100th episode of The Life Stylist Podcast.

Having devoted the past twenty-plus years of my life to spiritual growth and metaphysical understanding, it seems that the next phase of my journey is naturally guiding me down the path of sharing my experiences with live audiences, as an inspirational (albeit reluctant) teacher of sorts.

This raw, unedited live recording is my second-ever public talk, witch attempts to tackle the sometimes challenging topics of god, ego, and spiritual liberation.

After receiving such an abundance of positive feedback on my recent debut presentation at Cap Beauty in NYC, and constant requests for more spiritually-based content, I've decided to put this show out as an exercise of courage and vulnerability. If there's one thing I've learned in my first year as a podcast host, it's that people want the truth. They want something real. And the paradox of that fact is that the more open I become about my spiritual life, the more people relate to it and derive hope and inspiration from my experience on the path to enlightenment.

But why should we care about the spiritual part of life anyway? What's the point? Ask yourself the following questions, and you may arrive at a place of curiosity, if not a legitimate desire to know more.

Are you able to find peace in your pain? Can you reach and maintain a level of surrender in your life to the point that you rarely get rattled by the day to day stresses of the human experience? Do you control your mind, or does it control you? These are but a few of the questions I attempt to tackle in this introspective episode.

Although this particular lecture is highly spontaneous and meandering, there are a couple of consistent themes, such as:

How to escape the pain of the ego mind by walking through the inevitable pain in life
The importance of strictly avoiding negative, thoughts, deeds and actions
The immense power of self-love and acceptance
How and why I started the podcast, and how it has served my personal development and evolution

I hope that this talk and ones like it which are likely to follow can provide a light-hearted and accessible approach to living a spiritually-centered life. The beautiful thing about finding salvation is that we are each free to do it in our way, and are open to choose whichever path best suits our current level of development and understanding.

May you find god in whatever form gives your life meaning and fulfillment.

0:00.0	Welcome one and welcome all to a very auspicious episode number 100 of the Lifestyleist podcast.
0:08.8	This is a bootleg broadcast recorded live on the sunset strip August 29th, 2017,
0:16.3	featuring your host, Luke Story, coming at you with my second ever public talk about spirituality and
0:23.3	metaphysics. Two topics that I, of course, cover a lot on this show, but never on my own. So this was a
0:30.5	really fun opportunity for me to share some of what I've learned in life, what I've learned
0:35.6	during the first year of this show, and to really
0:38.2	present some of my findings to the studio audience. Unlike most talks like this, this one took
0:44.2	place at 10.30 a.m., which is definitely not my peak flow state, so it was really interesting
0:49.5	to walk in a room, turn on a mic, and just start talking. But what I did to warm up the crowd,
0:54.7	and I think we'll probably add some value and entertainment to this episode, is I took them
1:00.2	through a breath of fire warm up, one of my top Kuna Lina yoga practices. Then we do a little
1:04.8	alpha wave surfing. You'll find out what that is when you listen. And so this is really like a
1:09.8	live demonstration of what I do every
1:12.5	morning or at least a part of my morning routine just to get myself into the proper vibe.
1:17.6	So once I got everyone warmed up, I got down to the nitty, gritty realness. This was a very
1:22.6	vulnerable, you know, personal talk, really talking about my inner journey.
1:28.5	And it was just a fantastic experience to be able to share some of my truths with an audience,
1:34.2	many of whom were listeners of the Lifestyleist podcast that I invited down to come hang out.
1:39.7	So it was a super sweet morning for me.
1:42.5	It's kind of a fog now, so I had to go through and take some bullet points of what I actually
1:47.4	talked about.
1:48.4	So here's what you can expect to learn in this episode.
