A Spiritual Path to Creativity - with Michael Defilippis - EP#10

Welcome back, as we start the second half of season one. This week I am honoured to have been talking to the wonderful Michael Defilippis. Michael is an actor living in Brooklyn, New York. He trained at LAMDA and has worked extensively in theatre. However, most of our discussion falls on the topics of God, the ego, the nature of the mind and consciousness, spiritual awakenings, plus a whole realm of other topics. Michael's story is very unique and I hope you get as much from listening to this as I got from chatting to him.
