Pierce Salguero - A Lamp unto Yourself: Initiations into Eastern Spiritual Currents

Send us a text

For seekers attuned to the subtle dimensions of the spiritual path, this episode opens a doorway into the living traditions of the East—practices and philosophies that have long offered maps beyond the mind, into embodied presence and inner stillness.

From meditation and movement to Nondual philosophies, these traditions offer more than techniques—they point to a different way of perceiving reality.

In conversation with author and scholar C. Pierce Salguero, we explore how ancient practices like yoga, tai chi, qigong, and various forms of meditation have entered Western consciousness—sometimes adapted, sometimes diluted—and how modern spiritual explorers might engage them with respect, clarity, and intentionality.

Without prescribing a path, Salguero offers a compass: historical grounding, philosophical context, and a gentle call to explore directly. This episode is an invitation to engage Eastern spiritual traditions not as borrowed rituals, but as living currents—vessels of awakening for those who feel the pull toward deeper truths.

As the title of his book reminds us, the ultimate teaching is always inward: Become a lamp unto yourself.
