The power of a sabbatical is learning that there is no such thing as time off. We are always on, perhaps eternally so. Stepping back from the manifest world is simply an opportunity to engage the Infinite Universe within. It allows for equilibrium and balance. We must learn to live in both.

Rudi referred to the navel chakra as a fire in the belly, the space that gets things done. In our current turbulent political and environmental world, learning to tap into that fire is essential for our survival and transcendence. It is about the "work" in spiritual work. Get to it and go deep.

This past week, I was driving and talking out loud to the Infinite and Eternal that many of us call God, asking for guidance, clarity, help etc, when suddenly I stopped and asked a question I'd never asked before.

I have finished my book, my life story, I've written "The End". It was a powerful writing experience. Family, LSD, India, Rudi, Hollywood, Awakening, Knowing Nothing. As directed by the Universe, I've told people what I've seen. I've put down my cup of morning coffee. Life awaits.

The power of "shakti pat," the learned ability to receive and transmit this transcendent energy as a teacher and simply as a human being. It is our connection to the Infinite. It is our way of bringing the Eternal into the material world and into each other's lives.

This is my 500th posted talk on YouTube. Blanche assures me that it's a sign that I talk too much. This is especially true in that, over the years, I have less and less to say. But knowing nothing can be a doorway to profound insight beyond the human mind. It may be worth expressing.
