Özet
 Today's diverse and abundant spiritual landscape offers enormous opportunity for learning and growth. Here, author, spiritual counselor, and public speaker Philip Goldberg draws on more than 50 years of experience to host conversations that can help you make sense of it all and transform your life. You’ll meet teachers, scholars, and experts from a range of traditions (and no tradition), some who are well-known, others who should be well known, all with wisdom to impart. The aim is to help you expand your awareness and deepen your practices as you move along your chosen path. Note: Both Phil and Spirit Matters itself are members of the Association for Spiritual Integrity and pledge to abide by its Honor Code of Ethics and Good Practice. Interview guests are expected to uphold similar standards; those who are proven to exploit or abuse will not be platformed.Philip Goldberg Spirituality

  • The Yoga of Love with Graham Schweig

    The Yoga of Love with Graham Schweig
    9 Nov 2026
    Graham Schweig is a scholar of comparative religion with a masters degree from the University of Chicago and a doctorate from Harvard. He specializes in the religions of India, and in the philosophy of yoga, mysticism, interreligious dialogue, and comparative theology. As an academic, he taught at Harvard, American University, the University of North Carolina, Duke, and the University of Virginia before settling into his current position as Professor of Philosophy and Religion and Director of Studies in Religion at Christopher Newport University in Virginia. Since 2017, he has also been a visiting scholar at the Center for Dharma Studies of the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley, CA. He is also a bit of a rarity in academia because he’s been, in his words, “a dedicated practitioner of meditational and heart-centered yoga under the guidance of traditional teachers for well over fifty years.” He’s been invited to speak at dozens of venues throughout the world, both academic and public, and he leads practice-oriented workshops outside of academic settings. In addition, he is a widely published author and translator, with more than 100 articles, reviews, and book chapters, as well as nine books, either edited, co-authored, or his own. They include an award-winning translation of the Bhagavad Gītā, which is one of the translations I regularly consult. And now his latest book, which we discuss in this conversation: The Yoga of Love: Krishna and the Rasa Lila from the Bhagavata Purana. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  • Talking About Cults (and Buddhism) with Ann Gleig

    Talking About Cults (and Buddhism) with Ann Gleig
    26 Oct 2026
    Ann Gleig is a Professor of Religion and Cultural Studies at the University of Central Florida. Her research specialties include Buddhism in America and American spiritualities that draw on Buddhism and Hinduism. On a personal level she has practiced in the Insight and Tibetan Nyingma traditions of Buddhism and has been a student of the Diamond Approach for over two decades. She is author of American Dharma: Buddhism Beyond Modernity, which was published in 2019, the co-editor of The Oxford Handbook of American Buddhism from 2024, and the co-editor of the anthology Homegrown Gurus: From Hinduism in America to American Hinduism. Plus, two forthcoming books. One of them, co-authored with Amy Langenberg, is about sexual abuse in American Buddhism, which we talked about in this interview. The other, now available from the University of Georgia Press, is titled Talking About Cults: Abuse and the Study of New Religious Movements. We focused on that as well, along with related topics having mainly to do with sexual abuse in American spiritual circles and the most efficacious ways to understand it, confront it, and prevent it. NOTE: in the latter part of the interview there is a glitch in the recording. Ann is referring there to the fraternity house sex scandal at Cornell University. Learn more about your ad choices.

  • A Saint and the Antichrist with Matthew Fox

    A Saint and the Antichrist with Matthew Fox
    12 Oct 2026
    The prolific and provocative priest, Matthew Fox, returns to Spirit Matters to speak about two totally different but strangely relate new books. Fr. Fox earned a doctorate in the History and Theology of Spirituality from the Institut Catholique de Paris and was a priest in the Dominican order for more than 30 years before running into trouble with the Vatican. He subsequently became an Episcopal priest, renowned as an innovative theologian, author, and outspoken activist for social justice. His 44 books have been translated into other languages more than 70 times. Among them are Original Blessing; The Coming of the Cosmic Christ; One River, Many Wells; The Hidden Spirituality of Men; Christian Mystics; and The Pope’s War. His work has contributed a great deal to the modern rediscovery of the Christian mystical tradition and to a rethinking of Christian theology. As the founder of the University of Creation Spirituality in California, he has reinvented forms of education and worship. His Cosmic Mass, which mixes music, dance, and other contemporary art forms with the western liturgical tradition, has been celebrated more than 100 times in cities throughout North America. He conducts dozens of workshops each year, serves as visiting scholar at the Academy for the Love of Learning in Santa Fe NM, and continues to turn out books. Here, we talk about two of them: The Beloved Will Guide You: St. John of the Cross and the Triple Dark Night of Our Times, and the provocatively titled Trump and the MAGA Movement as Antichrist.
