Drawing on five decades of teaching, the wisdom of Ram Dass, and a profound story from the Christian mystic Thomas Merton, Jack illuminates what it means to be a mystic today: not someone set apart, but someone who has learned to see the sacred hiding in plain sight. He explores the practice of loving awareness, the goal of inner freedom, and what it feels like to step out of the entanglements of life without abandoning life itself. This is a conversation for anyone who has ever sensed, in a quiet moment, that they are something far vaster than their thoughts, their emotions, or their story.
