Episode 60: The Dance of Reality

March 5, 2014

Spiritual materialism is an approach to meditation in which we fixate on goals of perfection and try to secure a sense of accomplishment. In this talk, Reggie explains how the dance of reality always undermines such reference points and cuts through the momentum of our spiritual ambition.

This talk was given in 2009 at a retreat held in Portland, Oregon. To download more of Reggie’s teachings and to explore a variety of recorded talks and practices to assist you on your spiritual journey, please visit our store.
