DescriptionSpiritual teachers Richard Moss, M.D., and Deepak Chopra, M.D., discuss our relationship with the infinite, the meaning of the spiritual path, and our intimacy with that which is eternal. Moss defines the spiritual path as a process that ultimately brings us to a deep and innate sense of joy, and that takes our fears and makes them our friends. He says that when we make a sincere commitment to consciousness, we decide to become disciples of ourselves. If we take a different path, then suffering becomes our teacher. Chopra refers to spirituality as a domain of awareness where we discover our universality. He emphasizes that the core of our being is identical to the ultimate realm of every other being. When we experience intimacy with ourselves with God, and with the infinite, this is the most wonderful journey we can take.
