During this in-studio conversation with acclaimed author and spiritual thought leader Dr. Greg Goode, Terry and Greg discuss practical applications and resources to assist fellow spiritual travelers as they explore The Unified Path and The Direct Path. In this insightful exchange, Terry and Greg explore how the elements of body, mind, heart, and soul work together in spiritual practice, and why a holistic approach enriches the journey of self-inquiry.

Dr. Goode shares how his own life naturally wove together practices from multiple yogas, karma, bhakti, jnana, and raja, and how traditions like Vedanta and Zazen highlight the importance of addressing the whole person. Together, they discuss the relationship between ritual, devotion, knowledge, and meditation, and how these elements create clarity, balance, and deeper presence.

Whether you are drawn to non-duality, the direct path, or a more integrated spiritual life, this conversation offers wisdom and encouragement for anyone seeking unity within themselves.
