The Spiritual Perspective
Ever wonder what the spiritual perspective is on genocide? On cheating? On getting back with your ex? On toxic people?
If so, this is your channel.
You identify as spiritual — but you’ve still got questions about how to show up in life’s messiest, most nuanced situations.
And you don’t have time for fluffy, feel-good answers that don’t hold up in the real world.
This is where you’ll find a grounded spiritual take on life’s hardest questions.
I’m Light Watkins — keynote speaker, author, and longtime meditation teacher — and every week, I share short, no-BS videos that help you zoom out, tune in, and reframe what you’re going through.
If you’re tired of surface-level advice and ready to go deeper, join me every Monday and Thursday for new episodes of The Spiritual Perspective.
Your next breakthrough might be one perspective shift away.
The Spiritual Perspective
You’re NOT Here to Follow Your Purpose (The Real Reason You’re Alive)
Why are you having this life—with these relationships, challenges, opportunities, and setbacks? And what is it all actually for?
In this episode of The Spiritual Perspective, Light Watkins explores the deeper reason you’re here—not just in a philosophical sense, but in the very specific circumstances of your life. Rather than focusing on what we’re meant to get from life, this conversation reframes fulfillment around what we’re here to give, and why giving is often the missing piece when life feels confusing, heavy, or unsatisfying.
Light breaks down why your experiences aren’t random, why things sometimes fall apart, and how adopting a broader perspective can help you make sense of what’s happening in real time. You’ll also hear why abundance has less to do with external success and more to do with how you relate to your circumstances—and how remembering your inner resources can completely shift the way you move through life.
If you’ve ever found yourself asking, “What is this all about?” or “Why am I going through this?” this episode offers a grounded spiritual perspective that brings clarity, meaning, and a sense of direction—without bypassing the realities of modern life.
