I’ve been a spiritual seeker for many years on various
paths. My greatest inspiration to seek comes from a desire to know the deepest
truth about things and who we are,
although part of my story is also one of the
suffering that brings desire for freedom. I'm active as an organizer in
spiritual groups both online and in person. Finding the realization of unity to
be an individual path, it is also inspiring to follow it with a group of
similarly minded people. My teachers include Shantimayi, Adyashanti,
and Thupten Jinpa (Dalai Lama’s official Tibetan translator), and I have been
guided by the teachings of Buddha, Ramana Maharshi, and Nisargadatta. Other
influences include Jesus, Osho, and the Law of One book series. I believe that
by cultivating a great desire to spiritually awaken, we may open the mind to
empty awareness and the heart to divine love, and that only when these are both
satisfied through dedicated effort can we attain full realization. This understanding has been made
clear to from dialogues with numerous teachers said to have spiritually
awakened and in my own contemplations. What is spirituality? It is simply the recognition of
that which is missing, and the pursuit to discover it. All paths from the heart
lead to One, yet awareness of Unity is not the final enlightenment; it is not
even close. Seeking to realize the absolute incomprehensible must never cease.
