I’m Bob Peck and this is Karmic Relief. My background is in documentary film and comparative religion. I wrote a book called “Original Sin Is A Lie: How Spirituality Defies Dogma and Reveals Our True Self” which serves as an intro to mystic philosophy, Bible scholarship, Hindu metaphysics, and more. Karmic Relief is a lighthearted interview show where I talk to spiritual teachers, creatives, scholars, and activists, and humans who embody the overlapping beauty of all of the above dimensions. According to the mystics, the truth cannot be spoken, but we’ll do our best to talk about it anyway.

Witnessing Jehovah and His Illusion | Mikayla Humphrey

Mikayla Humphrey has questions. She was raised as a Jehovah's Witness, and knocked on thousands upon thousands of doors. At 17 she could no longer endure its cultish control over her life. Sadly Mikayla has not spoken to her immediate family since leaving the church nearly a decade ago... it's an official JW doctrine to "shun".

She is a phoenix arising from the ashes. As a fervent reader of a variety of spiritual philosophies, Mikayla enjoyed my book, "Original Sin Is A Lie" and we have continued to have several theological chats about the nature of it all. We decided to record a Q&A style convo as a unique episode of Karmic Relief Podcast.

We cover:

- The illusory nature of this world

- Nondual cosmology hypotheses

- "World denialism" vs. "world antagonism"

- Door-knocking stories from her Jehovah's Witness childhood

- How the ego loves "special-ness"

- The JW doctrine that _you will never die_ + overcoming a new awareness of impending physical death

- Our mutual adoration of Mollie Adler and her podcast "Back from the Borderline"

- Debunking Biblical infallibility as an essential first step in the open-minded spiritual path
