The essential nature of life has many facets: we can consider what's essential physically and materially to live a good life, and we can also consider the deeper, essential nature of our own beingness. In this episode, Henry and Bird discuss both of these facets, and how one plays into the other in the journey of spiritual awakening. What is one's essential nature? What is essential for peace? What is essential for waking up? We're not here to wake you up, to enlighten you, or to heal you. Our invitation is to come and see for yourself what's True. Welcome back to the void!
