Expertise
To varying degrees I have worked and studied with many different groups including:
The Noahides, Gaudiya Vaisnavism, Swami Muktinanda's Sidha Yoga Foundation, the Yoga Society (of Sri Ramamurti Mishra), Sikhism, various Pagan and neo-Pagan groups, Sunni Islam (Wahabi), Taoism, various Buddhist sects (including the Dharmad Hatu of Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche), various diverse Hindu sects, many Christian denominations and movements, and have been involved with numerous other groups and movements too numerous to mention.
My personal beliefs are best described as authentic Messianic Judaism. In this category I can discuss most any religion you would like but Messianic Judaism is the foundation upon which I stand.

41 plus years of seeking God.
