FAQ
Spiritual awakening for skeptics
For those of you who are incurably nosy and ask too many questions. Like me.
I’m reserved about my identity in conjunction with this site. This is because I own two companies, and have a number of employees and clients in my secular role as a scientist.
The material on this site is meant to be read with discretion and metabolized on its logical and practical merits alone. My words should speak for themselves because it’s not about my personality, it’s about whether what I say holds up when you apply it in your own life.

How does membership work?
You can subscribe to a recurring monthly membership and access advanced portions of the site.
I sometimes respond to emails from members but I am not a guru, and not into hand-holding. You can consider me a spiritual friend if you need individualized advice but all I can give is companionship, advice on what worked for me, and sometimes channeled info (but not predictably). You’ll definitely have to do the work yourself if you want to get through an awakening.
I can definitely help somewhat uniquely with certain practical aspects of continuing a Western medical practice or working as a scientist during a spiritual awakening. I’m pretty good for general info on diet/exercise/kundalini but its preventive medicine counseling not medical advice.
How do I start?
You start where you are at.
How do I finish?
I don’t know. I’m not complete my own process our I doubt I’d be raging into the void on here. I trust Jed McKenna and Mary Shutan on that topic because their info has been reliable for as far as I’ve gotten. Masters like Krishnamurti and Rumi are a little easier to point to as enlightened but harder to decipher and not currently embodied, I’ve never met them so I got to kill the Buddha there.
Why bother?
Great question, perhaps the only one. I thought about it but just came up with another question, what else is there to do?
Camus’ said “There is but one truly serious philosophical problem, and that is suicide.” But our own death one of the only things we can’t prevent so as far as I can see there’s no point in rushing it. It’s already done.
But I have experienced that consciousness continues beyond death of the body, so the question then becomes, where else is there to go? And do we have to die to get there?
