We
are living in precarious times. There is a tremendous spiritual hunger that
pervades the Western world. Some of this hunger arises from the innate longing
inherent in all human beings. Some is born out of an unnamed, existential
emptiness. Some is the result of living in a world in which our planet is
facing the possibility of its own extinction. And still more hunger comes
from wounds to the human heart and mind caused by living in a Western civilization
that is alienated from love and connection on all levels; that by-and-large
lacks a solid and withstanding spiritual foundation; that did not teach
us how to access the wellspring of knowledge and love within us, and to
live accordingly.
My passion is to assist people to learn to make sound spiritual choices
in whatever path they proceed along; to make distinctions between spiritual
terms, teachers, practices; to inspire the possibility of moving beyond
limited conceptions of ourselves; and to communicate perennial truths in
a manner that is applicable to, and easily understood by, the Western world.
The possibility for re-enlivening a spiritual culture in the West that is
authentic, sane, potent, grounded, and full of passion for Love and Truth,
rests in the hands of the few who dare to accept the full responsibility
of this task. Those who do are called to study, practice, be vigilant and
courageous, and to express lives of uncommon integrity in these demanding
times. This web site is a vehicle by which I wish share with you my small
contribution to this shared challenge.
May our lives
together on the path be full of Joy, Service, Integrity and Communion. |
