Spiritual awakening is the highest possibility for a human life—and also its greatest challenge. To meet that challenge, we need a motivation powerful enough to move us beyond comfort and resistance, again and again.

In this episode, Craig explores what he calls enlightened motivation—the deeper intention that fuels genuine transformation. He invites us to look beyond the wish for personal peace or relief and connect with the sacred impulse that calls us to awaken for the sake of the whole.

This talk also includes a guided contemplation to help you touch the source of that motivation for yourself—a flame that can illuminate your entire path.

Listen now to:

  • Discover what Craig means by “enlightened motivation.”
  • Reflect on your deeper “why” for spiritual practice.
  • Connect with the living fire that makes awakening possible.
