GLOSSOLALIA: The Ancient Art of Speaking in Tongues

Published: Oct. 12, 2021, 10 a.m.

Luther Wissa is a lifelong practitioner of glossolalia, an American businessman, and author. He first started speaking in tongues at age 11, while attending a retreat in his birthplace of Egypt. Wissa describes glossolalia as a kind of meditation that anyone can practice, regardless of their religious beliefs or metaphysical commitments. The conversation ranges over esoteric spiritual practices, evolutionary explanations for glossolalia, and how accessing an alternative state of consciousness helped Wissa write his first book, "The Race: What's Wrong With Capitalism and How to Fix It".
