About Prakash
I have gone through many changes. Throughout it all, I recognize one law at work. So long as there is some standard by which we judge: enlightened or unenlightened, good or bad, beautiful or ugly, wise or foolish, we have missed the boat. What characterizes the "enlightened view" is that it is a view without continually referencing a standard.
Kevin holds a Masters degree in Sacred Theology from the Angelicum in Rome and currently teaches a course in Self-inquiry at DePaul School for New Learning. He has authored several books and offers weekly meetings in the Chicagoland area. No stranger to other cultures, Kevin has enlightened audiences in Rome, in the US and in India where he received the name Prakash which means light.

When we no longer reference a standard, we will accept everything on its own terms. That's enlightenment. Breaking the relationship we have with the mind is, in reality, breaking the relationship we have with standards or the 'measuring stick'. which we routinely use to judge persons, places and things. We use it to judge life and the events of life. The invitation to break with the mind sounds severe. It sounds violent. It is not. It is really an invitation to part with the measuring stick.
