Yosemite Wasn't the Point
Manage episode 481229536 series 3450347
Two years ago, I stood in Yosemite Valley with my best friend Drew. I took a picture—one of those epic, jaw-dropping shots—and I remember thinking, This is holy.
But when I showed that photo to people back home, it didn’t land. And I realized something: it wasn’t the view that changed me. It was what happened inside me while I stood there.
In this episode, I unpack why the Divine is always an internal experience—and how we often mistake external moments for God. That’s how religion begins. We build systems around sacred echoes. But the truth? The real fire lives in you.
If you’ve ever felt something shift in your soul and struggled to explain it—this one’s for you.
Topics Covered:
- The difference between outer symbols and inner truth
- Why sacred moments can’t be captured—but they can wake you up
- Spiritual awakening vs. religious memory
- Masculine spirituality grounded in personal experience
- How to trust the inner fire instead of chasing the mountaintop
