Awakening to no-self in the comedy of existence with my guest Eshwar Segobind. Listen to our prior episode here. Watch the video version here.

Eshwar is an emergency electrical contractor and tradesman whose realization and awakening journey began during a several week stay in an addiction recovery center. We riff in our native immigrant accents for a while on subjects not safe for anyone, and tie all that into realizing the nature of no-self, identity, emotion, and the integration into "real life" of all of this.

Learn more and sign up for a personal session with Eshwar here on his website and peep his YouTube channel.
