Episode 79: Awakening the Mystic- A Journey of Love and Healing with Rob Dorgan
In this episode of the Erotic Liberation Podcast, hosts Craig Cullinane and Reno Johnston welcome Rob Dorgan, co-author of “Awakening the Mystic: A Novel of Cosmic Love and Healing.” The conversation begins with light-hearted banter about personal pleasures, such as enjoying the rare sunshine in Vancouver and the benefits of a sugar-free lifestyle. As the discussion unfolds, Rob shares his transformative journey from academia to spirituality, detailing how an astrological reading catalyzed a significant life change. He recounts his experiences with yoga, tantra, and the Body Electric community, emphasizing the importance of embracing both pleasure and pain in the spiritual journey.
Rob delves into the mystical experience that inspired his novel, describing a vision he had while chanting the Gayatri Mantra. This vision led him to write a story that intertwines his life experiences with themes of love, healing, and the exploration of sexuality. Throughout the episode, the trio discusses the intersection of mysticism and sexuality, the importance of intuition, and the potential for personal transformation through spiritual practices. The conversation culminates in a reflection on the power of saying ‘yes’ to life’s opportunities, even when they challenge us, and the idea that everyone has the capacity for mystical experiences.
