E8 - My Story of Awakening, Part 3
/

This is part 3 in a 6-part series that takes a close and intimate look at my own experiential journey of awakening.  Parts 1-4 are taken from a talk I gave, in 2016, as part of a long-term series I was hosting at a local Zen center.  Parts 5-6 are an update on my adventures from where I am now, five years later.  In this third part, I talk about the fear, uncertainty, and doubt that I had to overcome – and I also talk about the three months that I spent living on the streets of Seattle as a homeless, wandering ascetic.  It is my hope that this in-depth look at my own awakening process can be of comfort to those who are having difficulties on their own journey – so you can see that you are not alone and that we are all in this together.
