#2 Jac O’Keeffe - The Discarded Compass Interview

Jac O'Keeffe is a spiritual leader and teacher with a unique style and approach. In her teachings, she emphasizes the importance of understanding non-duality as a stepping stone rather than a destination, and offers pointers on the path towards this realization. Jac also possesses high sense perception abilities, which she uses to help expose and heal blockages on the spiritual path and in our understanding. In addition to her insights on non-duality, Jac also encourages conversations about taboo topics and cultivates wisdom, honesty, and integrity in her teachings. If you are seeking guidance on your spiritual journey and personal growth, be sure to explore the teachings of Jac O'Keeffe.
Jac’s work is driven by her capacity to envision the possible future of spirituality. Spiritual leadership has been authoritarian for millennia. Perceived as infallible, spiritual teachers were not held accountable. Combine this with an absence of an emphasis on the teacher's personal growth and human evolution, and conditions become ripe for the abuse of power. Now is the time for a systemic change to a new paradigm which is intersectional, inclusive, and mutually receptive. Jac supports the evolution of spiritual leaders and their teaching methods to include accountability and kindness, making spirituality more relevant and applicable to regular life.
Jac is a founding member of the Association for Spiritual Integrity (ASI), an organization that encourages the importance of strong ethical principles in the ongoing growth of spiritual communities and their leaders. www.spiritual-integrity.org
Her books include Born to Be Free and How to Be a Spiritual Rebel.

Thank you for this inspiring interview. I so appreciate Jac’s insights about the need for humans to be better at sharing power, the importance of self care, and need for integrity, self-awareness and personal work in spiritual teaching. 😊

I’ll say it again, mainly just to leave a comment and show support but your interviews are so special simply because you allow the guest to speak. I really didn’t notice how rare this was until I came across your work and now the difference is glaring. Beautiful beautiful. Please don’t ever change your style . It’s perfect

[@daverowley2724]

What a wonderful interview! Jac is the first teacher I’ve heard to address head-on what has always felt like a red flag to me in the non-dual world: the influx of fast talking half-cooked teachers. She breaks it down with such precision (starting at 22:50 mark) while still expressing understanding and compassion for those teachers.

important points are being expressed here, thank you Jac for that...however, I wonder how many so called spiritual teachers would be left if they followed "your" criteria...

Sadhguru is a great example of a REAL spiritual teacher. When asked how he wants people to remember him.he said, I hope they are living their best life they don't even remember me. Jac also sounds authentic.
