Salvation vs Enlightenment, with Michael Graham

Salvation vs Enlightenment, with Michael Graham

In the 1960s Michael Graham travel to India to become one of the first Western devotees of Swami Muktananda. Over the next thirty years he immersed himself in Eastern Spirituality, meeting and studying with a plethora of gurus and teachers, as well as becoming a teacher himself. All this came to a conclusion when an unexpected encounter with Jesus Christ led him to become an Evangelical Christian.

In this interview we explore that journey and the cognitive shifts it entails. Michael has the kind of critical insight into the Eastern traditions that a person can only find when they been deeply involved and then jumped ship – seeing from another point of view. I explore with him themes around 'Existential Rest' and how he conceives of the difference between the Christian concept of Salvation and the Eastern concept of Enlightenment. Whether you agree with Michael's ultimate conclusion or not, it's clear he has a lot to offer spirituality inclined people of any tradition.
