Wow. That quote is the most beautiful thing. So incredibly deeply true. The delusion that brings people into searching can be relieved by just those words being met honestly. Thank you

Thanks for sharing your coversation with us. I was in just the right space to listen--both time-wise and in my spirit. A real gift to start my day.

Thanks Joan, I really enjoyed listening to the interview. I loved the term you used to define your journey through various teachers as being "promiscuous". That's me too! And I learned something from each and every experience. Going to a week retreat here in Italy in April with Rupert Spira...first time, looking forward to it. I'm so sorry I'll probably never get the chance to sit and talk with you in person. With love and appreciation for all you say and write

We may not be together "in person," but when we shift attention from that story to the bare actuality of this alive boundless presence that we are, there is no separation at all. All Love. ❤️🙏

Above all, have no longing to become a future Buddha; your sole concern should be, as thought succeeds thought, to avoid clinging to any of them… Do not permit the least movement of your minds to disturb you. This alone is what is called liberation.

Thanks, Joan. Good piece.
