I called the teaching I offered this week -

Finders Losers, Losers Keepers

This turns upside down the taunt we likely heard in childhood. Non-duality calls us to enter into a different way of living within the world. Understanding context is critical to understanding content. Religion goes wrong when it becomes a way of teaching us to ignore what is real. There is a system that operates beneath the surface of our lives all the time. Two powerful elements in and of this system are greed and racism. Our country’s current context also requires that we be clear about the meaning of the word “fascism” and “Naism.” The treasure our spiritual work permits us to find and be found by is outside our cultural constraints and value system.

That’s a brief summary. The audio/video versions of the talk has some differences from the text I spoke from. You can find the text of the talk, the presentation slides and links to the audio and video version of the talk using the links below.
