E63 Int. Spiritual Atheist: Aligning the Heart and Mind with Nick Jankel - a podcast by J. A. Plosker

“I think what we all share…is that we want inner peace. We want a sense of calm and contentment and gratitude.” Nick Seneca Jankel makes that statement on this episode, and I think most of you probably agree. 

If you’ve ever said to yourself: "I don’t know what lies beyond the five senses and the scientific, but I can’t help but feel there’s something there," or, even if you have some idea of what is there, then this episode is for you. Learn how Nick arrived at the concept of “spiritual atheism,” the steps to resolve the apparent tension between those worlds, and how it can transform your life and help you thrive.

Nick Jankel, author of “Spiritual Atheist” and “Switch On,” has advised 10 Downing Street, Microsoft, and many more, and has taught at Yale and Oxford. Hear the fascinating story of a spiritual journey that led Nick to dive into his spiritual “allergies” to find out who he is in this world – a journey into inner exploration, intense study, being one's own guru, and much more. Learn about the power shifts and influences that turned a materialist life into a life based on science, spirituality, and the synchronicities and serendipities that make life something much more deep and satisfying.

“I wanted to know the answers to life, the Universe and everything.”

“I think what we all share…is that we want inner peace. We want a sense of calm and contentment and gratitude.”

“Every day I look at the newspaper and it’s like ‘Wow!” Is this really happening?’”

“Religion as I understood it was not giving me nutritious answers…it wasn’t inspiring me…I became a proper atheist in the footsteps of Richard Dawkins.”

“I was curious about spirituality, but I was allergic to…new age fads.”

“I dove in and tried to find the truth of who I am in this world.”

“We are our own gurus ultimately.”

“That has been a really important part of my journey; just reading the Bhagavad Gita, The Tao Te Ching, the Chuang Tzu…they’re so nourishing.”

“I don’t have a lineage. I’m very rare in this field…I haven’t had someone take me under their wing.”

“I never get high on my own Kool Aid.”

“I need to master the best of science…but I also want to become a master of my material life of consciousness.”
