Episode 13: The Five Pillars Of Religious Reform

The Five Pillars of Religious Reform is a rudimentary examination of the key influences inherent in individual and collective spiritual transformation. For those in search of a modest blueprint for measured change, and left questioning why and how certain holy precepts across various faiths have evolved over time, Borup offers a relaxed reference guide. Throughout this book, Borup makes reference to various historical shifts in belief and presents newfound insight into the root causes for such change. He even tests our own susceptibility to spiritual reformation by offering a glimpse into the bizarre, yet conceivable, religions of tomorrow. No other book presents such a clear and concise outline for sweeping religious reform in this way. Visit www.JeffreyBorup.com/books for more information Music: www.BenSound.com

Episode 9: Finding a Local Identity

There's a reason we travel. We want to see new things and have unique experiences. We want a real change. Something entirely different. Out of the norm. But how often is that actually the case? Are things really all that different anymore? Are our travel itineraries truly as exotic and original as we think they are? As they once were? If not, why? Music: www.bensound.com
