The Journey Is the Point

from Waking Up With Ryan · host iHeartPodcasts

What if the destination you're chasing doesn't exist? In this episode, Ryan dismantles one of the most common traps on the spiritual path — the belief that awakening is something you arrive at, rather than something you're already living. Drawing on the wisdom of Byron Katie, Gangaji, and the great enlightened masters, Ryan explores why comparing yourself to "awake" teachers keeps you stuck, what it actually means to love what is, and how surrendering to the present moment — messy, imperfect, and human as it is — is exactly how miracles happen.
