December 21  LA  (watch, listen)
Arriving at the end of spiritual practice—and the beginning of spiritual being. 

December 14  San Rafael  (watch, listen)
Is this all there is? Often finding life insufficient and depressing is a necessary step on the spiritual path.

December 7  San Rafael  (watch, listen)
Confronting the Devil, the Dark Lord, and realizing why the Embodiment of Evil will continue to play an essential role in one's spiritual life.

November 30  San Rafael  (watch, listen)
The most remarkable thing to emerge out of the brute forces of the universe is love. You are its embodiment. You are its expression.

The problem with certainty.

November 16  LA  (watch, listen)
There is no answer. The question is everything.

November 9  San Rafael  (watch, listen)
Because we were young, Rudi taught us how to live, how to grow, how to negotiate life and become fully functioning human beings. Only then, he said, was real spiritual growth possible.

October 26  San Rafael  (watch, listen)
The filters that separate us from the world and blind us to ourselves. How we acquire them. How we let them go.

Listen to this talk when you turn 70 or when you retire or when you appreciate that meditation is truly a life's work.

The bear invasion. Shiva dancing.

August 9  NY morning  (watch, listen)

July 27  Seattle  (watch, listen)
You were never born and You will never die. What is at the heart of this mysterious saying?

July 20  LA  (watch, listen)
Feelings and emotions are at the core of the human experience and yet most people are at war with them. If you trust them, they will lead you to your Self.

July 13  Seattle  (watch, listen)
Experiencing the "grace notes" in your life and discovering the Infinite Grace from which they arise.

June 29  LA  (watch, listen)
Inner work and outer work are at the core of this practice. This is not about sitting in a cave. It is about engaging the world as an essential mechanism of your spiritual life.

June 22  Seattle  (watch, listen)
Fundamentalism and the risk of "knowing" the truth, especially when it is not your truth.

June 8  LA  (watch, listen)

May 25  Seattle  (watch, listen)
In dystopian times, the vision of utopia is crucial. Here is what it looks like—and why for some it is already here.

May 11  Seattle  (watch, listen)
Why stories are so important in our lives. How they can entrap us or free us from ourselves.

April 27  Seattle  (watch, listen)
Facing the final moment of your life takes a lifetime of practice. You don't want to start with only minutes left.

April 6  Seattle  (watch, listen)
