Unraveling The Threads of Awakening (w/Prof. Pierce Salguero)


Listen Later

For many, traditional spiritual frameworks leave us feeling alienated and invalidated, firing up the engine of fear and seeking when our own experiences don't fit their mold. Multidharma is a new map that drops "stages of awakening" and instead recognizes multiple threads that might unfold—such as emptiness, oneness, energy, and psyche—providing a more inclusive space for the vast diversity of human experience.


Dr. Pierce Salguero has studied spirituality through decades of practice and scholarship, specializing in hathayoga, meditation, shamanic rituals, spirit healing, Thai medicine, and Buddhist philosophy. He is now a professor researching Asian history, religions, and healing traditions. His Multidharma framework distills the lessons from a lifetime of exploration of spirituality, providing a novel framework for modern seekers.


Here's a deep dive into the Multidharma Threads model.
