The role of suffering in spiritual seeking, Jeff Foster

Jeff Foster reflects on the role that suffering plays in the quest of the spiritual seeker. This video is an excerpt from SAND Anthology Vol. 2. Jeff Foster studied Astrophysics at Cambridge University. In his mid-twenties, after a long period of depression and illness, he became addicted to the idea of ‘spiritual enlightenment’ and embarked on an intensive spiritual quest for the ultimate truth of existence. Jeff presently holds meetings, retreats and private one-to-one sessions around the world, gently but directly pointing people back to the deep acceptance inherent in the present moment. Jeff was voted #59 in Watkins Mind Body Spirit’s 2014 list of the world’s 100 Most Spiritually Influential Living People. He has published four books in over six languages. His latest book, The Deepest Acceptance, was published in 2012 by Sounds True. http://www.lifewithoutacentre.com/
