Short audio/video commentary by Brian Johnson summarizing a chapter titled 'Spiritual Function Farts' (aka 'Spiritual Farts'). The speaker relays Reverend Michael Beckwith's metaphor: studying spiritual truths without practicing them leads to 'spiritual indigestion'—humorously called 'spiritual farts'—and urges listeners to live their truths rather than mere theory.

Chapters

Hi, this is Brian. Welcome to a Philosopher's Notes. Today we've got a chapter called Spiritual Function Farts. Yep, spiritual farts. Reverend Michael Beckwith tells us that if we simply study and talk about spiritual truths but never actually live the stuff, we're going to get spiritual indigestion and constipation. Spiritual farts. It's not a pretty thing. Seriously. As the good reverend and countless other teachers tell us, theory is rudimentary spirituality practice. Actually living it. That's the advanced stuff. So if you have some gas, please quit stinking up the room and start living your truths, will you? Thank you and amen.
