The second half of a talk by Dr. Kaushik about how the energy moves through our internal universe. He addresses the original audience question about how to handle sexual energy. Next, he explores how when we relate to the universe through thought we become isolated in aloneness. When thought comes to an end, and we face the full void of loneliness it is only there, free of mind, that love has the space to grow to the point you become the energy. In this state all centers are one, and you have become a total human being. Find many more talks by Dr. Kaushik at Dr.Bruce & the Levity Zone Archive. Credits: Dr. R.P. Kaushik (speaker).

Introducing a new voice to the levity zone: John Suntiger, a visual projection artist, and community and environmental activist who takes us on his profound life’s journey through dis-ease, disease from Childhood to a terrifying hang gliding accident and beyond. John truly paid his dues and has emerged a strong advocate and practitioner of the circle. As Lorenzo Hagerty and Dr. Bruce initiated last year in programs about the life of Terence McKenna, the time of the mostly white male guru on stage is now, thankfully, being replaced by circles of sharing, of healing, of exploration and of the creation of a new world. John has formed a powerful circle in his community and will tell us how that came about and how you might find your own destiny in the circle. Credits: John Suntiger (speaker), Dr. Bruce Damer (intro, edit), Kianna Cameron/Svamps (music), John Suntiger and Jacob Aman (art). [released 17 Apr 2013]
