The Observador Paranormal podcast returns with an episode that takes direct aim at one of the most sensitive topics for the Latino community: the spiritual quest. HERE<\/a> you can listen to the podcast.<\/p>\n

Under the title “Spiritual Self-Deception”, the 170th episode of the program asks to what extent the spiritual path we claim to follow is really a deep search… or a comfortable story we tell ourselves to avoid seeing certain truths. For a little over an hour, the hosts talk with Balam Ibarra, who breaks down the contradictions, excuses and “shortcuts” that many people use when they talk about faith, energy or spiritual awakening.<\/p>\n

As in every issue, Juan Manuel Torreblanca and Roberto Belmont take the conversation beyond the anecdotal.<\/p>\n

In Observador Paranormal they have built, episode after episode, a space where the occult, paranormal phenomena, horror movies, supernatural investigations and the most famous cases of mystery are explored, comparing film versions with real archives and documented testimonies.<\/p>\n

On this occasion, the “monster” is not an entity from the beyond, but the magical thinking that often replaces critical thinking when we talk about spirituality.<\/p>\n

The episode invites you to question gurus, “high vibration” speeches and promises of express enlightenment that are consumed on social networks as if they were any other product.<\/p>\n
