Synthesizing Spiritual Wisdom To Its Core Essence With Kyle Kowalski (Sloww)

If you like reading or listening to this podcast, leave us a review or share it so more people can discover it🙏

Many of the guests I’ve had on the podcast have spoken about the benefits of going deep once you’ve found a spiritual path or tradition that resonates.

The argument is that depth results in more profound transformation than breadth.

This is congruent with my own experience after a period of spiritual window shopping.

However, I know there people out there that have a different perspective and received a tremendous amount of benefit from a prolonged, broad exploration.

Today’s guest is Kyle Kowalski, the founder of Sloww. Sloww is creating the web’s deepest guide to the world’s wisdom through an interdisciplinary study across diverse yet interconnected disciplines. 

Kyle describes himself as a synthesizer. He has spent the last few years studying a tremendous amount of spiritual teachers and teachings with the goal of getting to the core essence of what they all point to.

In this conversation, we explore the distillation of his studies and how he is using what he has distilled to improve his life.

One of the main points he’s observed across teachings is that at some point, life itself becomes the practice.

I couldn't agree more. Treating life as the primary spiritual practice has always been the view in certain cultures, but in the West, it feels more common to take a more compartmentalized approach.

You do your 20 minute meditation, and then you do the rest of your life.

Having lived on both sides of this, I’ve seen how treating your consciousness evolution as a compartmentalized activity places an inherent limits on your growth.

We discuss the practicalities of making life itself the practice which is also the primary subject of the book I’ve been writing for the last 18 months.
