In this inspirational talk, recorded in in the Bedouin Tent, London, philosopher Tim Freke explores what spiritual awakening is and how you can experience this life-changing shift in consciousness for yourself. Tim has written books about the great spiritual traditions of the world, showing that at their mystical heart they are all concerned with spiritual awakening. With his characteristic directness, astonishing clarity and playful humour, Tim shares his 21st approach to spirituality that encourages us to both open our hearts and think scientifically. Based on his book Deep Awake, he explores … - why spiritual awakening is the leading edge of 13.8 billion years of evolution! - how the awakened state is completely natural and available to all of us - why the ego is the hero not the villain of the spiritual journey - why popular spiritual teachings that urge us to reject the mind and detach from life are misguided - why our collective awakening is the key to political and social transformation Tim has been a spiritual explorer since a spontaneous awakening when he was 12 years old. He is a wonderful communicator with a contagious enthusiasm for life who can guide you directly to the ‘deep awake’ state. He is a pioneering philosopher whose work has touched the hearts and minds of hundreds of thousands of people worldwide. He is the author of 35 books, translated into more than 15 languages, including a Sunday Times bestseller and Daily Telegraph 'Book of the Year'. He speaks and runs retreats internationally http://timfreke.com
