Since my original review of Eddie Traversa, he vanished from and then reappeared on the spiritual scene. 
I feel that Eddie Traversa is enlightened — the real deal. That was my opinion despite having nothing to judge him by other than his blog and a few email exchanges. I finally interviewed him over the phone, and that confirmed it — real deal. Check out the interview on the Journals of Spiritual Discovery podcast.

Bob began his spiritual search studying with Richard Rose.

One, that I would never want to get into a fight with him; two, that he seemed hopelessly stuck in the spider’s web of daily life; and three (probably related to the first), he could be deadly serious.
