November 20, 2022 Red Hook, NY (watch, listen)
For many people the goal of a meditative practice is attainment. But attaining what? – and for who? The true practice of meditation is letting go of the person who is trying to attain. Lighten the load. That is the beginning of enlightenment. Practice now.
November 12, 2022 Red Hook, NY (watch, listen)
The "I AMness" that arises, fills and transcends your life. Make yourself available to what already is.
November 6, 2022 Red Hook, NY (watch, listen)
Dark clouds forming. Rain can be nourishing and provide growth. Storms are safe if you have sanctuary. Hurricanes are potentially devastating even in a storm shelter. Get an umbrella, a raincoat, and prepare–but karma is unavoidable.
October 23, 2022 Red Hook, NY (watch, listen)
You cannot carry the weight of a changing world on your shoulders. Find sanctuary inside. It is waiting to welcome you.
October 16, 2022 Red Hook, NY (watch, listen)
The only thing affecting the underlying meaninglessness and purposelessness of life is love. Love is all there is.
October 9, 2022 Red Hook, NY (watch, listen)
To quote Bob Dylan, "The Times They Are A’Changin'." You can either put your head in the meditative sand or do the work to meet what arises. Greet the change. Be the change.

The future.
September 25, 2022 Red Hook, NY (watch, listen)
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.

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.
September 11, 2022 Red Hook, NY (watch, listen)
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.
August 28, 2022 Red Hook, NY (watch, listen)
I want to document the aging process as the spiritual journey it is. I hope this and future talks will inform and inspire those looking to navigate the process of evaporation. I do not have the answers but will share what I learn.
August 21, 2022 Red Hook, NY (watch, listen)
The shift toward awakening can be as subtle as performing a play on a Broadway stage versus performing the same play in a war zone, where the actors and audience risk their lives for beauty rather than just putting on or watching a play. Same play, different awareness. It is a simple but profound shift. Life is impermanent. It's all a war zone. Wake up. Make the shift.
August 14, 2022 Red Hook, NY (watch, listen)
It is often hard to recognize the existence of an angelic Presence in one’s life, let alone to be an angel for others, but both skills are essential to finding your way to the endless gift of being in this world.
July 17, 2022 Red Hook, NY (watch, listen)
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. "How are You doing?" The answer was astounding, profound, life changing. Why don't you try?
July 10, 2022 Red Hook, NY (watch, listen)
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.
