what is the goal of Michael stone
Answers
Paradoxically, I felt most normal and safe when I was with my uncle. When I’d leave the institution to take the bus home, the city would seem insane. It was very confusing. The conversations I had with my uncle seemed deeper, more mysterious, and more important than anything I was learning at home, at school, or even at synagogue.
A few years after my uncle died, when I was 20, I spent almost a year alone in the wilderness learning about meditation practice. I also read Carl Jung’s entire collected works, which motivated me to go back to school. I enrolled in the Psychoanalytic Thought program at the University of Toronto, which was an experiment in studying psychology in the religion department. I completed my Bachelor of Arts there, then a Masters of Arts in psychotherapy at Vermont College, where I mentored with the maverick American psychologist and author James Hillman.
While at school, I trained in the formal Buddhist practice of Insight Meditation (of Vipassana and Zen practice). When I began teaching Vipassana, as one of the youngest Buddhist teachers in Canada, I read an article by Zen teacher Roshi Pat Enkyo O’Hara who recounted being asked, “What is your practice?” Her response: “Manhattan.” I immediately sought her out. I was struck by the intimacy and immediacy of her response. She became one of my mentors, along with Norman Feldman, and Stephen Batchelor.
