Dear Folks -
My dear friend Dr. Joseph Rachel is going to "co-teach" Ordinary
Life with me this week. You have heard me refer to him many times.
Perhaps you have even heard him before.
Joseph is a Buddhist practitioner. He has worked several times
with the Dali Lama. He and I talk regularly and our conversations
have focused on those four things that are almost always in the back
of my mind - authority, ritual, mysticism and transformation.
Our plan is to focus specifically on the topic of suffering and
the importance of moving away from dualistic thinking. One thing you
can count on in hearing Joseph teach: he will be provocative. So,
let's give this title to our time together this week:
Disturbing the Waters

Dear Folks -
We have a rare opportunity this week to hear my dear friend Dr.
Joseph Rachel. Joseph and I have been friends for over 20 years. He
is personally familiar with a number of spiritual paths. He is a
Buddhist practitioner and has studied with the Dalai Lama on several
different occasions. He and I have been involved in an on-going
dialogue about the matters I have mentioned to you several times -
authority, mysticism, ritual and transformation. He will be giving us
his perspective on these things. There will also be ample time for
what questions you might have.
Joseph is an engaging, funny and clearly an excellent spiritual
teacher.
Much love,
Bill Kerley
