Mark Kelton (@markaustinkelton) is a musician and former urban yogi/monk/scholar.

In this mind-bending episode, Mark details his inner-transformation in which he re-learned everything by means of seclusion, deep studies, manipulating diet and breath, practicing yoga and meditation, all in search of the answer to the question… what is reality? We also delve into the meaning of dreams, morality, the Absolute Truth, information vs. knowledge, freeing ourselves from distraction, and maximal daily growth.

Mark is an endless wellspring of information and experienced wisdom. I highly recommend listening to this episode and Mark’s recommended reading list in the show notes. Stick around for the very end when Mark performs an original song for us.

It’s easy to grow tired of telling one’s story, but I’m grateful Mark graciously and excitedly walked me through this saga for the benefit of many. So, without further adieu, please open your minds, surrender your dogmas and find your Knowledge alongside the Beingness of my good friend, Mark Kelton!

Love,
David
