What If Jesus Was Plant-Based? With ‘Chr...

Michael B. Beckwith
About this episode

On today’s episode, Michael chats it up with Kip Andersen. Kip is an award-winning filmmaker whose films include the Netflix blockbusters ‘Seaspiracy’ and ‘What the Health,’ which was co-executive produced with Joaquin Phoenix. He is also a certified Jivamukti and Kundalini yoga teacher, as well as the founder of AUM Films and Media, a non-profit organization that promotes awareness and equality for all life. Kip’s most recent film, ‘Christspiracy: The Spirituality Secret,’ features a guest appearance by Michael and was co-executive produced with Leonardo DiCaprio. The film was purchased back from Netflix and can be seen online (see link below). 

Highlights from Kip and Michael’s provocative conversation include:

-A deep dive into the film’s central question: Is there a spiritual way to kill an animal?

-Kip’s sudden shift to veganism and how his ponderance of the ethical, environmental, and spiritual layers of eating animals inspired his trilogy of documentaries, culminating in ‘Christspiracy’

-Kip discovering the Nazarene and Essene movements—early religious sects that were against temple animal sacrifices—of which Jesus and his brother James were a part 

-Recounting Kip’s shocking experiences filming ‘Christspiracy’ and uncovering cultural coverups around animal treatment

-Unpacking the true meaning of “dominion,” not as control over, but as caring for the Earth and all beings, including animals

-Kip’s decision to release ‘Christspiracy’ independently and let viewers pay what they can, and more!

Next, Michael leads a guided meditation with a high vibration of intention to wake up to our glorious nature.
