In today's episode, we sit down with Scott Jackson, co-founder and spiritual director of Mandorla Spiritual Center in Western Montana. Scott shares his incredible journey of personal transformation through meditation and disciplined daily practices, culminating in a deeply reverential relationship with the divine and self-love.
Michelle delves into Scott's recovery from addiction, discussing how discipline can be a form of love and a path to self-forgiveness. Together, they explore the concept of "techno feudalism," the need for a unified global philosophy, and the power of individual growth to influence societal change. Scott introduces us to transformative ideas like "Cosmo-erotic humanism" and the importance of creating a new story of intrinsic value that transcends traditional boundaries.
In this rich conversation, we also touch upon the role of technology, cultural apathy, and the critical need for a shift in collective consciousness during these existentially risky times. Scott unveils Mandorla Spiritual Center's new initiatives, including a podcast, a weekly wisdom newsletter, and a call for global unity through shared values and intentional living.
Join us for an episode brimming with insights on personal and societal transformation.
