I first found out about Jon through Adyashanti's website. But this was the first video I saw of Jon as he didn't have many others at the time. There followed many years of opening, healing and deep gratitude I have for him and his teachings, his transmission. He's helped me with traumatic blockages that I'd lost hope could ever be released. I love how he doesn't require taking on any beliefs or rituals. Wonderfully simple. And I absolutely love his quirky humor, his everydayness, and his willingness to be really open and honest, to demystify the image of "spiritual teacher," of being some kind of constantly blissed-out "perfect" being. Seeing how he accepts his own humanity helps me embrace my own. :) So I'm feeling a nostalgic urge to express some deep gratefulness. Thank you Jon, and also Rick Archer, for your service.
