Summary: Jesse Herriott is joined this week by stand-up philosopher, best-selling author and spiritual pioneer Dr. Timothy Freke.

He is pioneering an accessible new way to experience a profound spiritual awakening, which fully embraces our tender, vulnerable, flawed humanity. He has spent his life exploring the awakened state he often simply calls the "mystery experience" and is able to guide others directly to it. Tim has an honors degree in philosophy and is an internationally respected authority on world spirituality. He is the author of more than 30 books that have established his reputation as a scholar and freethinker. He became well known for his groundbreaking work on Christian Gnosticism with his close friend Peter Gandy, including The Jesus Mysteries: Was the "Original Jesus" a Pagan God?. In his latest book, The Mystery Experience. Tim Freke, Tim presents a revolutionary approach to spirituality. He creates a new language of awakening, which makes profound ideas simpler to understand, so it's easier to experience a real transformation of consciousness. During his Mystery Experience Retreats he personally guides participants directly to the deep awakened state. Tim is a passionate and playful communicator, whose enthusiasm for life is contagious.
