]]>Spiritual teacher Eli Jaxon-Bear — founder of the Leela School of Awakening, author of seven books, and a former civil rights activist and federal fugitive — joins Sophia James for a wide-ranging conversation drawn from his Revolution of Love writing.
They explore why every ego-based revolution in history has failed, from the French Revolution through Cuba and the 1960s counterculture—and why the only revolution left is the one each person makes alone: waking up.
Along the way, Eli explains the three stages of consciousness, the hero’s journey of disillusionment and return, and his core message: it is possible to be free now, in this life—and all it asks is your willingness.
