Join us as we journey through an exploration of faith, ego, and the pursuit of spiritual goals, revealing how these factors can lead to authentic wealth and satisfaction. In this fascinating discussion, we also reflect on the controversial notion that suffering can be a potent teacher, urging us to grow beyond our self-imposed limitations.In this engrossing conversation, we also examine the role of physical activities in spiritual advancement. Challenging comfort zones, we consider suffering not as a result of external conditions but as a mental decision that can inspire personal growth. We delve into Swami Vivekananda's compelling perspective on why suffering exists in a universe believed to be governed by an all-knowing, all-present God.Finally, do substances like marijuana and psychedelics have a place in our spiritual journey? We discuss their influence on our consciousness and their potential role in facilitating personal growth. We also explore how following your intrinsic inspiration can lead you to remarkable personal progress. So, tune in as we traverse the intriguing path of faith, suffering, wealth, and fulfillment.About AshaIn 1969, when Asha was 22, she met Swami Kriyananda when he came to Stanford University to give a talk. Recognition was instantaneous and intuitive. For the first time in her life, she saw someone whose life matched the ideal she herself was seeking. Swamiji -- as she came to call him, "respected teacher" -- was a direct disciple of Paramhansa Yogananda, author of Autobiography of a Yogi, and the Guru responsible for introducing Kriya Yoga to the West. From that moment to now, Asha has dedicated her life first to learning from Swami Kriyananda and then sharing with others all that he so generously shared with her. She has written four books, the most notable being a significant biography of Swami Kriyananda called Lightbearer.Recording Date: August 8, 2023Asha's LinksWebsite: ashajoy.orgIG: @innerlifewith_ashaYouTube: @ashanayaswamiClayton's Book: Revealing The Secret Teachings of Jesus: GoT, Volume 1Clayton’s LinksWebsite: claytoncuteri.comMaster Link: linktr.ee/claytoncuteriMerchandise: t2c.logosoftwear.comTimecodes(00:00:00) - Pursuing Wealth and Fulfillment(00:12:42) - The Purpose of Suffering and Growth(00:18:10) - Understanding Suffering and Karma(00:27:09) - Physical Activity and Spiritual Progress(00:37:38) - Purpose and Motivation in Daily Practice(00:40:42) - On Happiness and Pursuing Challenges(00:44:22) - Suffering, Substances, and Spiritual Growth(00:54:27) - The Effects of Marijuana and Psychedelics(01:02:38) - Follow Your Inspiration for Personal GrowthIntro/Outro Music Producer: Don KinIG: https://www.instagram.com/donkinmusic/Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/44QKqKsd81oJEBKffwdFfPSuper grateful for this guy ^Support the show
