His own words;

"It began when I was twelve and began to agonize over the authenticity of what I was being taught about the world. I studied intensively and privately - reading all I could find. I travelled India when I was eighteen and many times since. Perhaps all those crises and the struggle were necessary. It was the first few experiences on E I that changed it all. Then I had the real thing and entered a new league – the adventure really began. After that, teachers appeared, I opened and everything furthered. My gratitude for those key experiences is my life’s work.


 I lead all kinds of workshops - but this is the one that cracks the world open.”                                            

 

"Out beyond right thinking and wrong thinking,
There is a field.                        
 When you lie down in that grass,
 life is too full to talk about,
 I'll meet you there!"
