This episode of Satsang Reflections is based on our satsang with Dr. Christiane Michelberger, who was interviewed by Yvonne Unger.

Satsang Reflections is a dialogue usually held after a Satsang. It's an opportunity to share what was most impactful, hear from others about what they took away, and deepen into the teaching from the Satsang.

If you haven't had a chance to listen to the Satsang yet then this could be an opportunity to catch the highlights and see if it might inspire you in some way.

Dr. Christiane Michelberger is a retired physician and psychoanalyst. In 1975 she embarked on the spiritual path after having been confronted with death. She studied Zen with the Zen Masters Prof. Nagaya Roshi and Willigis Jäger (Kyo un Ken). She was then issued a teaching permit from Willigis Jäger in 2002. Later, she turned to the teachings of the historical Buddha which are laid out in the Pali Kanon.

Having been diagnosed with breast cancer in 2015, her search became urgent. She found Kevin Schanilec, who had made the path to awakening accessible again. On the final leg of her journey, she used the path through the ‘Ten Fetters’, a concept that is laid out in the Pali Kanon. Two years later, what she hadn’t thought possible had happened. The self was fully gone, the truth was seen, and all suffering had ended.

John Mark Stroud was our July Satsang guest. He was interviewed by Joe Schmitz.

Here is some information about John Mark Stroud:
A single unexpected moment in John Mark’s mid 20’s left him with a vast sense of emptiness.

He would spend the next 15 years immersed in worldly activity, trying in vain to fill this emptiness. His “normal” life of businessman, husband, and father had all the hallmarks of great success. But that vast emptiness keep haunting him.

Finally, in 2007, he was compelled by some greater force to sell his business and begin the inward search for the true peace and happiness that had always eluded him. Almost immediately he was swept up in a tidal wave of Grace. For a man used to control and responsibility, it was particularly unsettling that these miracles began to move and direct his life into uncharted waters.

In 2009, he was guided to “A Course in Miracles.” Instinctively, he knew this was what he had been searching for. It was as though it had been written just for him. The Course in Miracles led him to the direct experience of God’s limitless Love and Perfect Peace.
