Today, I am excited to have with me Patrick Paul Garlinger, a former academic and attorney who has transitioned into an award-winning author, spiritual teacher, and intuitive. Patrick experienced a profound spiritual awakening in 2010, which led him to live in ever higher states of consciousness. In 2016, a kundalini awakening further opened his psychic faculties, allowing him to channel a trilogy of spiritual works. I was so intrigued by the insights and ideas presented in his latest book, Endless Awakening: Time, Paradox, and the Path to Enlightenment, which serves as a guide for all spiritual seekers. Patrick offers a unique perspective on how embracing paradox can help us move forward. Meet Patrick Paul Garlinger: Patrick provides intuitive readings for those seeking to connect with the divine within and teaches courses on intuition and the spiritual path. As someone who bridges the intellectual and the mystical, Patrick identifies as a 'modern mystic' with what he calls 'practical woo-woo' beliefs, rooted in concrete experience rather than vague New Age tenets. For Patrick, spirituality is about releasing judgment, recognizing our deep interconnectedness, and embracing our true nature, which is to love. He also sees spirituality as aligned with scientific thought, particularly in our evolving understanding of time, meditation, and consciousness.  Connect with Patrick: Website: https://patrickpaulgarlinger.com/ Book: Endless Awakening—Time, Paradox, and the Path to Enlightenment is available on Amazon: https://a.co/d/fEGFqnJ  YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/@intuitivepatrickpaul Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/@intuitivepatrickpaul About Elizabeth Cantey: I am dedicated to helping people integrate spirit, mind, and body in order to live each day with a deep sense of purpose, passion and fulfillment.
