Virtue is one of the many qualities essential to the awakening of one’s true nature. Jack breaks virtue down to its most fundamental levels and shares the joy of virtue and living a life of integrity.

Jack talks about the eternal qualities of awakening. Practicing qualities such as patience and wisdom in a way that anchors us amidst our chaotic and turbulent culture. He addresses virtue, one of the fundamental principles of conscious life.

There is something in us that knows what it means to have a kind of fundamental care and integrity with what we do. Jack talks about the joy of virtue that is found through practice. Without this sort of integrity, the spiritual life is incomplete.

“There is no spiritual life worth anything. There are no insights, no great lists, no special states. They are worthless if they don’t grow out of a basis of integrity. Otherwise, they are kind of just fancy stuff that comes and goes.”
