All models are wrong, but some can be useful ;-)
My friend Pierce Salguero has a pretty rad one, I've talked about it on previous videos, and he's finally written some of it up on a website, with a book for beginners coming out soon as well (also on the website). Enjoy and let me know if any of these threads resonate with where YOU find yourself currently. https://multidharma.net/maps-and-territories/

From Sunday Zen on YouTube! Enjoy ❤️
Let's dive deep into the themes of trust, surrender, and the Threads of Awakening model introduced by Dr. Pierce Salguero in this live episode of Sunday Zen.
I've been reflecting on how traditional spiritual models can leave us feeling lost, stuck, or even scared, and how Pierce's approach offers a more inclusive framework that resonates with my own experiences.
We share insights on the different threads—emptiness, energy, unity, and psyche—and how they manifest in our lives.

"Be that shining city on the hill," and "Love one another?" Waving American flags will signal that there are immigrants who love us, while foreign flags say otherwise. We need to change hearts and minds, not condemn people!
If you're religious pray for our country and ALL its leaders ...
