Can you really have both. deep spiritual peace and big material goals. In this episode of Cosmic Confluence with host Sana, author and awakened entrepreneurship mentor Philip Saparov unpacks the tension between meditation and money, presence and performance, stillness and success. He shares how losing his mother led him into spirituality, how Eckhart Tolle and Buddhist teachings reshaped his view of the mind, and why trying to kill all ambition actually backfires for many high performers. Philip breaks down his AIM Wheel framework. Awareness, Insight, Manifesting. as a practical method for integrating spiritual awakening with real world creation, goals, and business outcomes. If you have one part of you that wants to sit in silence and another part that wants to close six figure deals, this conversation gives you language, structure, and permission to stop choosing sides.
About the Guest:Philip Saparov is the creator of Awakened Entrepreneurship and the author of “Siddhartha Sets a Goal” and “Manifesting Secrets.” After losing his mother in 2011, spiritual teachings like Eckhart Tolle’s work helped him survive intense grief and discover the power of presence. At the same time, he was deeply dissatisfied with his work and lifestyle. That clash pushed him to design a path that honors both spiritual enlightenment and creative ambition. Through his AIM Wheel method, Philip helps founders, creators, and spiritual seekers reconcile meditation with manifesting, and integrate inner peace with outer results.
Key Takeaways:Spirituality and ambition are not enemies. the real problem is believing you must choose between enlightenment and achievement.
Eckhart Tolle’s teaching on living in the present moment helped Philip see that thoughts are not the enemy. over identification with them is.
The Buddha did not reach peace only by meditating. a big part of his progress came from courageous, logical contemplation that dissolved fears of sickness, old age, and death.
Philip describes a human spectrum from “extreme doing” to “frequency holding.” Some people are wired to create and build, others are wired to simply be. forcing yourself to the wrong side creates burnout and misery.
There are two kinds of enlightenment. spiritual enlightenment and creative enlightenment. waking up to your unique neuro potential to act, build, and contribute.
The AIM Wheel integrates both paths.
A. Awareness. daily silence and meditation. full surrender to what is.
I. Insight. ask clear questions and receive answers from the subconscious and Infinite Intelligence.
M. Manifesting. translate those insights into concrete goals, strategy, and aligned action.
Awakened entrepreneurs are not hustling from insecurity. they act from presence, clarity, and self honesty, which leads to both impact and inner calm.
You do not have to choose between your soul and your ambitions. you just have to stop letting other people’s unfinished stories decide what is “spiritual enough” for you.
