From a young age, Booboo sensed he had lived many lives, yet growing up in Southern California amid gang culture, addiction, and trauma, he fell into the illusion of separateness. On November 14, 2009, following years of struggle with alcohol addiction, his identity dissolved in what he describes as a “glimpse of nirvana.” This experience awakened him to a deeper reality beyond his former self.   With 15 years of sobriety, Booboo has since experienced out-of-body phenomena, a shared-death encounter with his father, and several spiritual awakenings. Now, as the host of the Broader Lens Podcast and an author in progress, he seeks to share his journey to inspire others toward healing and self-realization.  Read Booboo Garcias' article about his 10 Best Spiritual Books here: https://www.sedgbeer.com/booboo-garcias-10-best-spiritual-books/ ⁠ #Spirituality #Awakening #Addiction #GangCulture #TransformationStory #Nirvana #InnerPeace #SpiritualAwakening #BoobooGarcia #BroaderLensPodcast #SandieSedgbeer #NoBSSpiritualBookClub #Lifestyle   --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/sandie-sedgbeer/support

I enjoy all of my interviews, but every now and then, I meet a guest who has that extra je ne sais quoi that brings something else to a show, which puts a big grin on my face. My recent interview with Irish poet, scientist, researcher, storyteller, wisdom keeper, clinical psychologist, and (exiled) priest Fr. Sean O'Laoire had me in stitches. Your average priest, this man is definitely not!  Well-informed about the mistruths in the Bible, he most assuredly is!   For fun, I'm adding a link to last week's interview on What is Going Om so you can watch him debunking the myths about whether Moses really existed, the truth behind the mandate of circumcision, who God is (and what he is NOT), and Who the world was Yahweh... (and more). And in the meantime, please enjoy this episode of The No BS Spiritual Book Club, where Fr. Sean O'Laoire shares his (surprising) 10 Best Spiritual Books.   I promise, you won't want to miss this! THURSDAYS @ 10:30A PT / 1:30P ET!
