Letters of Transmission: a Talk on Enlightenment
A couple of weeks ago, I was a guest speaker at the Center for Sacred Sciences in Eugene, OR and gave what some think is my best talk ever. It’s now available on YouTube, and I highly recommended taking an hour to watch it: https://youtu.be/ZZeaE3GSqn8 . It’s as close as I’ve come to answering “what is enlightenment?” and distilling key principles for the search.

In Case You Missed It…
I’ve channeled some creative energy into spiritual t-shirt designs—some with Philo Sophie King’s input. The latest one’s a personal favorite. Think of it as a wearable koan. You want one of these. You really do. Take a look.
Lastly, if you’re on the West Coast, our TAT West group meets twice a month in the San Francisco Bay Area. These meetings are like mini-retreats, focused on subtracting illusion and discovering what’s real. If you’re close enough to drive, you’re close enough to come.
Wishing you all the best,
