In this profound episode of Leaders and Their Stories , I sit down with Lucas Bonder , a spiritual thinker and author, to unpack one of the most compelling theories I've ever heard: There is only one body in the universe —and our experience of separation is just a lens of distortion. 🧠 We dive deep into questions like: ➤ What if we’re not separate beings, but one universal body seen through space and time? ➤ Can the ego’s illusion of separation be the root of mental health struggles? ➤ How does true freedom come from forgetting ourselves? ➤ What do ancient wisdom and modern neuroscience have to say about our sense of self? ➤ How does spiritual growth look when guided by a teacher, whether a rabbi, guru, or inner voice? 💬 Lucas shares: ☑️ The philosophy of non-duality ☑️ His own awakening and desire to help others return to “oneness” ☑️ His books: Love for Wisdom (on spiritual evolution) and Think Like God (a bold look at divine consciousness) ☑️ Thoughts on karma, evil, mental suffering, and why it’s not “about you” This episode blends psychology, spirituality, philosophy, and raw honesty into a powerful dialogue. Lucas even challenges the famous quote “I think, therefore I am” by asking—what happens when the mind is silent? Do we still exist? If you’ve ever struggled with purpose, ego, disconnection—or if you’re simply curious about deeper truths—this episode is a must-watch. 📘 Learn more about Lucas: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lucas-nathan-bonder-220371104/ 📘 Get his book: https://a.co/d/8wkdjwy 🖋 Learn more about Richard Lowe & ghostwriting: https://thewritingking.com 📅 Schedule a discovery call: https://contact.thewritingking.com…
