Jeremy met Okyeame Kwame at Sadhguru’s Isha Yoga Centre in Coimbatore, India, where they recorded this conversation a few days after an immediate deep bond.
Okyeame comes from the Ashanti warrior tribe in Ghana. He’s been a professional musician for 26 years, releasing 9 studio albums. Authored two books. Is a Father of two and happily married.  
Okyeame shares how after becoming one of Ghana’s most successful rappers, he was confronted with depression, a deep rest that would become life changing. The mask he’d been given in society and chose to wear, had worn thin. He began to acknowledge and take responsibility for what was disturbing him: expectations, attachments… initiating a spiritual awakening.
In realising the preciousness of his life, he started seeing all life as precious. Transcending his conditioning and becoming more inclusive. His concept of self, changed from being tribal, to universal. 
The motivation that brought him huge success as an artist, he then applied to living spiritually. His approach to discipline: choosing to be choiceless. Leading him to feel free from society, rarely having negative emotions or judgements, moving from spiritual teachers to his inner guru, being a conscious family man, letting go of people sinning against him before it even happens, and much more inner richness. 
Okyeame also describes some beautiful and powerful ancient African wisdom, from women leading the tribe, to the truth about the function of angels and demons.
