In this episode of Recovery Radio Network, listeners are taken on a spiritual journey with insights from the book 'The Power of Now' by Eckhart Tolle. The speaker dives into definitions of enlightenment and being, exploring how these concepts relate to personal recovery and spiritual growth. They discuss how enlightenment is our natural state of felt oneness with being, and how being is the eternal, ever-present life beyond birth and death.

The episode challenges the idea that spiritual awakening is only for those in monastic settings, suggesting instead that it is accessible to everyone, right here and now. The speaker also tackles the question of how to enlarge one's concept and experience of God. They suggest that obsessive and addictive thinking can obstruct this experience and emphasise the importance of finding silence and space to truly connect with a higher power.
