Fed Banker turned Tantra Guru: I Left America, My Wife & My Career to Spend 20 Years in India

Whitney Wheelock is not your typical spiritual teacher. He worked at the Federal Reserve Bank, sold wine for a billion-dollar conglomerate, married his childhood babysitter at 21, got divorced at 26 — and then left America to find deeper meaning.What followed: 10 years living with a Tantra guru in India. But not the the kind of Tantra most people think of. Not candles and intimacy workshops. A rigorous, ancient philosophical system that asks the deepest questions about reality, consciousness, God, free will and what's actually real in this reality.In this conversation, Whitney shares… * what made him walk away from everything the Western world told him to want* what his teacher Shanmuka showed him about trust, truth, and surrender * why he believes there is no right and wrong. * what a near-death experience in South Africa taught him about fear* and why he says the most psychedelic experience of his life wasn't a drug — it was Shavasana.This is one of the most challenging, perspective-shifting conversations I've ever had on this podcast.Get in touch with Whitney: Website: https://www.skasta.org/Email: [email protected]
