The Universe Holds You: Shadow Work & More (LIVE)
From a recent Facebook live episode. I discuss the arising of strong emotions during the realization "journey" and the deep knowing that the Universe, (or God, or whatever descriptor we use to point to the ineffable) perfectly holds us as this process unfolds. And the beautiful synchronicity that all traditions seemingly point at the perennial wisdom: that we are NOT who or what we think we are 🔥Full video here.

Faith, Doubt, and Determination (Sunday Zen, LIVE)
Zen teaches us that faith isn't blind; it's the knowing of our innate nature. Doubt isn't negative; it's the engine of inquiry that propels us toward understanding. Determination isn't force; it's the steady resolve to persist, harmonizing these traits for profound self-realization.
