We also discuss the Bodhichitta heart seed that connects mystical lineages, what it means to include and transcend as we integrate our teachings on the spiritual path, and how to “get there by being there” as we develop our own forms of mastery along the seven initiatory levels we dive into throughout the conversation.  Holding a doctorate in psychology, John is deeply steeped in psycho-spiritual development, Integral Theory, contemplative studies, Western Esotericism, and has spent over thirty years training in the Indo-Tibetan Mahayana Buddhist lineage.
