Summary
There are so many spiritual practices, lineages, traditions and wisdoms out there. How do we find our own? In this episode we discuss being in touch with your higher nature, what spiritual traditions all have in common and what to do if you come from a Christian background like himself and not sure how to include spiritual practices in your life. We also discuss the concept of miracles vs magick, which is about the path of surrendering to the divine vs manifesting your reality. This is a deep-dive conversation and one that all you spiritual nerds + lovers will resonate with!

| 0:11.8 | Namaste! It's Sahara Rose and welcome back to the highest self podcast, a place to |
| 0:16.5 | discuss what makes you your soul's highest involvement. I absolutely love having my friends |
| 0:21.9 | on the podcast and diving deep into different spiritual topics, nuances, belief systems, |
| 0:28.0 | and how we can live a life that is interconnected with all of the different modalities out there |
| 0:34.8 | and really taking what serves us and stepping into this new involvement of what spirituality looks |
| 0:42.0 | like that's outside of one structure, one belief system, one practice, but really taking |
| 0:47.9 | you know a hodgepodge of different findings that we resonate with and letting ourselves roll with |
| 0:53.1 | that and I really think that that is what the spiritual movement is all about fine tuning your |
| 0:59.0 | own practice and not feeling like you have to follow the guru, follow the scripture, follow any |

| 1:39.6 | all different types of theories that he studies and writes about in his new book Modern |
| 1:43.8 | Spirituality and how we can find our own balance between them all. He comes from a really unique |
| 1:49.3 | background of being a Latter-day Saint Christian and then going on his own journey of studying many |
| 1:54.8 | different types of spiritual modalities. So I want to have on the podcast to talk about different |
| 2:00.1 | concepts and also this idea of miracles versus magic. So we live in a world that right now is very |
