Rev. Michael Beckwith
A Vanguard for the Future

Rev. Michael Beckwith speaks passionately and candidly about his vision for a religion of the future and of the kind of evolutionary leap we must take in our thought, relationship to life, and spiritual perspective, if religion is to remain relevant in our world.

There’s a difference between tradition and having a real religious experience or awakening. Many people who hold fast to tradition even though it doesn’t have any transformational value in their life. They’ll fight for it and die for it. They’ll make their kids be a part of it, even though they’re sad, they’re upset, and they’re fearful. If something has a real transformational impact on you, then there is joy, happiness, and a degree of fearlessness and creativity in your life.
