Over the Centuries, Eastern and Western Cultures have been in flux. In part due to commerce and the trade routes, and also by the alchemy or blending of philosophical and spiritual thought. Since the 1950s, this has been coupled with Psychology principles.

The Prosperos has been in a rare situation of having a teacher who has created courses that for over 65 years have used this alchemy, and he added an ingredient that many people thought was taboo or unspeakable, that being sexuality and gender. Thus, he created new ways to articulate ideas on new aspects of spirituality and new possible solutions to attaining a Human’s relationship to deity.

Thane brought to his classes an understanding of the elements of Eastern mysticism and added to an understanding of Western traditions. That blended tradition or lens is at the basis for these Conversations with Calvin. These Conversations are to provide creative dialogues; To have you consider provocative ideas, questions, problems, and solutions.

That is my aim in a conversation with my guest.
