JP Sears is an emotional healing coach and spiritual teacher who leads workshops internationally on inner growth and how to lead fuller, more meaningful lives. In 2017, JP will release his first book through Sounds True, How to Be Ultra-Spiritual: Thirteen Steps to Spiritual Superiority. In this very special, early-April edition of Insights at the Edge, Tami Simon sits down in the Sounds True studio with JP’s alter-ego, His Enlightenedness—an astonishing ascendant master and the star of the popular “Awaken with JP” YouTube channel. JP expounds on the idea of “spiritual superiority”—how to be just plain better than anyone else at meditation, humility, and crafting a proper story of one’s spiritual awakening. JP also explains that to be the most spiritual kind of vegan, one must hate animals and practice total dominance over plants. Finally, Tami and JP discuss why the deep symbolism of his Thirteen Steps is innately superior to the Twelve Steps—and maybe some other stuff about spiritual bypassing and how humor can be a powerful form of inquiry, too.
