We unravel the layers of his multifaceted journey, exploring how his diverse experiences shape his approach to life and spiritual seeking.Together, we tackle the tricky terrain of "new age spiritual woo-woo," dissecting how to discern the genuine seekers from the often delusional, ego-blinded gurus and influencers. Christian's insights into the pitfalls of spiritual absolutism and the danger of one-size-fits-all paths offer a refreshing perspective in an area crowded with false prophets and empty promises.Our conversation takes a turn towards the poetic, discussing the mystics who embraced the beauty of unknowing and the importance of recognizing the allegorical nature of most spiritual texts. We delve into finding magic in the mundane and humor in our darkest moments, offering a lifeline for those seeking meaning in a seemingly senseless world.
