The latest episode of the ‘Dialogues on Truth’ podcast focuses on the Direct Path to ending suffering. Rupert and Niall McKeever from The Weekend University talk about why certain people end up on the path of spiritual seeking, the paradox of seeking for happiness, and the Direct Path approach to peace and happiness.
They also explore how the non-dual understanding can help therapists alleviate their patients’ suffering, how we can use our innate happiness to motivate us and serve humanity, and some of Rupert’s often-used metaphors.
