Satsang Reflections

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.

If you would like to learn more about Brian, please visit one of his websites or listen to his podcast.

Roundtable Sangha Discussion

Leonard Jacobson shared the teachings from his most recent work Liberating Jesus as well as about his upcoming book which he plans to release in February of 2023.

For those of you who haven’t heard of Leonard Jacobson, here’s some information about him.

Leonard is deeply committed to helping others break through to the joyous experience of living in the NOW.

Leonard teaches how to become fundamentally present and how to arise in mastery of your mind and ego, so that you are no longer involuntarily pulled out of Presence. Leonard embodies a profound depth of Presence and his teachings are a powerful reminder that in truth, there is no life outside of this moment. He has been guiding people how to be present for over 40 years.

Leonard teaches that the fully awakened state of consciousness is available now. It is not something that occurs in the future. It is not something that we can arrive at through spiritual practice. It is already here, waiting to be revealed. As you awaken into the present moment, your thoughts will stop, your mind will fall silent, and you will awaken to an inner silence and peace that is beyond understanding. You will begin to encounter what the mystics and Masters have been speaking of for centuries.

One of the most significant aspects of Leonard’s teaching is his unique insight into the nature of the mind and ego. Leonard teaches us how to come into right relationship with the ego in a way that helps the ego to relax, and he teaches us how to integrate awakened consciousness into everyday life and relationships.

He is the founder of The Conscious Living Foundation, a registered non-profit organization. In 2005, he was awarded the Peace Prize by Religious Science International, although he is not affiliated or associated with any religion or church. His teaching is both inclusive of, and transcendent of, all religions and spiritual traditions. It is for all those genuinely seeking to awaken, and for all those who want to overcome the pain and limitations of the past, and open into a more loving and abundant world.

Leonard is the author of six books, Words from Silence, Journey into Now, Embracing the Present, Bridging Heaven & Earth, Liberating Jesus and In Search of the Light, a winner of the Indie Children’s book award. Journey into Now has been translated into eight different languages.

He lives in Asheville, North Carolina and offers evening teaching sessions, weekend workshops, and longer residential retreats in the United States, Europe, Australia and Asia.
