In this episode, we reconnect with scholar and author Pierce Salguero to continue our exploration of his recent book, A Lamp Unto Yourself, a guide to cultivating an inner path rooted in discernment and self-trust.
Our conversation then turns to his forthcoming book, Threads of Awakening, which invites seekers to engage multiple spiritual traditions through a personalized lens. As Pierce writes:
"For those just getting started, why not launch your spiritual journey with a balanced approach that supports multiple threads of discovery? Unlike other books that present Asian spiritual techniques as fixed traditions, this introduction teaches you how to develop a customized plan that fits your strengths, values, and individuality. The author introduces 16 of the most transformative techniques from Buddhism, Hinduism, and Chinese traditions, while providing a rich discussion of the history, philosophy, and experiential outcomes of these practices."
Blending insight, history, and lived practice, Pierce offers a fresh, integrative vision for awakening in a pluralistic world.
