Why Would a Successful Man Give Everything Away and Never Look Back

Join Vishrant’s Online Retreat June 13th - 16th http://vishrant.org/retreats What actually changes when someone wakes up? In this raw and pragmatic third conversation with Bryan Ostermiller, Vishrant speaks about enlightenment without mysticism, theatrics, or spiritual performance. The personality remains.

He shares how ego dissolves, why consciousness continues to rise after awakening, and why responsibility, masculinity and practicality don’t disappear when enlightenment occurs.
