Like, how do you say the embrace of the human experience is different? Like, now that you know what you know, what is the tantric path to you? Like, there's got to be a little bit of a difference in how you embody William Burke, right?

Definitely.

Where am I at now with that? I think...

The question for me is like, how do I just stay absolutely present with anything that is happening in my world? without the desire to own it, and without the desire to run away from it.

It's just a matter of like, this is happening, this is the dance of existence for awareness.

And not that there's too, not that there's a duality there like this is this is awareness dancing in itself for itself as itself um well not even i mean just shakti or just you know shiva shakti i guess but like i wouldn't even like i wouldn't even say that there's a duality there like i I had this really transcendent sort of click the other day that you might enjoy.

I imagine that the whole of the universe is, let's imagine it as a line.

But I think there's a general correlation between enjoying one's life and just simply um just showing up in presence i know that sounds a little corny and cliche but like in whatever you're at quite simply you're just like present with the people that are around you and you're there for them that's what it really means to enjoy this life right and right it doesn't mean like you negate all the fun the the classically fun stuff right that we like but we realize that that's not the pinnacle that's really not what life's all about

So, yeah, getting this thing started, would you be able to give us a little bit about who you are and what you do exactly?

Yeah.

Yeah.

As it relates to this, I was raised in New York City in a family of yogis.

We went to an ashram growing up called Siddha Yoga, like had a guru meditating since I was like three or four.

And kind of went the other way afterwards.

I got a chemistry degree and then did pharmaceutical development, neuropharmaceutical and electrophysiology work before medical school.

Now, what? is your background? What is your like spiritual practice? Or what are the modalities? You know, the lineages that you follow? Yeah, that's the question.
