Rev. Shawna Summers interviewed Brian Tom O’Connor.
In case you are not familiar with Brian Tom O’Connor, he is the author of Awareness Games: Playing With your Mind to Create Joy, and a co-host of the Awareness Explorers podcast. His newest book is called Awareness Adventures: Discovering Your True Nature.
He is also an actor, theatre director, cabaret performer, and formerly depressed guy who stumbled onto the source of joy and happiness in the background of all experience. Brian does not claim to be an enlightened person, which he says is, in fact, a good thing, because if someone as imperfect and flawed as he is can find it, he maintains that we all can.
He invites us to try the games and make up our own. Experiment. See what works for us. He posits that it’s all about our direct experience. He asks us to play with pure awareness and discover the background of all experience, where happiness is hiding in plain sight.
