Hello everyone!
September has already been a busy month for me with school starting and making time for the jobs I work and some social time. In any case, I’m still working at Planet Label and have been trying to find ways to incorporate the work I do for them into my class activities. So far, I have been very successful in the attempt. My marketing class is allowing me to use Planet Label as my local company to “consult”. The goal I want to set is to be able to look back at past attempts, evaluate successes and failures, improve on the successes, correct the failures, and come up with some new ideas. So far, it’s breathed life into old ideas.
Aside from all of that, this month was my birthday. I got to spend the day with a Buddhist monk by the name of Khenpo Kalsang Gyaltsen, who serves as Vice President of Tsechen Kunchab Ling, Temple of All-Encompassing Great Compassion. This is the U.S. headquarters of the Sakya Order of Tibetan Buddhism. He was a very kind and intelligent man to which I am grateful for spending the day with. I typically don’t celebrate my birthday, but this added a unique zest to the day.
Recently, I’ve begun working with Professor Joseph Waligore on a site called Spiritual Critiques. As of now, the site’s design and content is somewhat barebone, but he and I are in the middle of a transition to a different host site at the moment, so priority has been shifted to the host for the time being. The site is still up and contains some wonderful literature written by Joseph about spiritualists and philosophers such as Eckhart Tolle and Ken Wilber. To contact Professor Waligore in regards to Spiritual Critiques, send him an email.
September, otherwise, has been a very plain Jane type of month because of school taking up my time. I’m also teaching an adjunct class for the Religious Studies department’s Old Testament class, which meets weekly. I post notes once a week that reflect on the class readings that can be found here. Remember, tune in often for more updates!
