Description
“Entangled in the program of life we seek after things believing they will offer us fulfillment. We work hard to uphold an image of ourselves that we have believed to be true. Blindly we play out this charade until death, unless by some grace we may see that all our efforting is unnecessary and somehow in some way a radical invitation to stop all seeking is offered. How our life was before this moment matters not – all that matters is our willingness to tell the truth of our suffering, of our seeking fulfillment in phenomena. Then all seeking can end and you are found. All sleeping ends and you are forever awake.”
Brian spent most of his life, seeking fulfillment by chasing dreams – either in business ventures, an acting career, or filmmaking – basically having an idea (a dream) and then trying to manifest it. He also spent his life looking for love in relationships: looking to find the one, as if that love would offer wholeness.
In 1996, an experience of divine communion in Joshua Tree Desert inspired Brian to seek truth. The seeking for fulfillment in worldly achievements began to switch to a spiritual search for God and truth. In meditation he found a love and bliss deeper then any worldly experience or relationship. He experienced a series of deep awakenings and mystical happenings. Having found truth and bliss he began to teach this spirituality to others. Brian was still seeking what he thought was complete enlightenment.
