Krishnamurti&#8217;s work at that time and did not see the real value in the vision until around seven years later, when I began to study the TSK books in earnest. I have explored a number of world&#8217;s religious traditions over the years, concentrating most heavily in Buddhism (primarily Dzogchen, Mother Tantra, and Burmese Theravadin), Vedanta (Jean Klein, Nisargadatta Maharaj, etc), Almaas&#8217; Diamond Approach, and Christian mysticism, and have benefitted from all of these studies, but in the past eight years or so I have developed an abiding and ever deepening appreciation for the TSK vision, which I am hoping to &#8220;tend&#8221; and further water in this online course.<\/p>\n<p>I hold an MA in Integral Psychology and have also been a serious student of Ken Wilber&#8217;s work for the past ten years. One of my current interests is in exploring the interface and potential for &#8220;cross-pollination&#8221; between TSK and Integral Theory. A recent theme in Integral studies is the need for a &#8220;post-metaphysical spirituality,&#8221; and I believe TSK is indeed already such an animal.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, I work for Educational Testing Services and reside with my wife and son in the SF Bay Area. My first name is Robert (hence my screen name), but for anyone addressing me on this forum, I prefer to go by my middle name, Bruce.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I first picked up Time, Space, and Knowledge back in 1990, but was heavily into J.
