In today’s episode of Healing from Within your host Sheryl Glick (http://sherylglick.com/) author of her recently released book The Living Spirit: Answers for Healing and Infinite Love is pleased to welcome Doug “Ten” Rose (http://www.fearlesspuppy.org/), also known as “Ten” which is short for Tenzin Kharma Trinley. Sheryl and Doug will discover how he came to that name, “Ten” in his book Fearless Puppy On American Road. Ten is also the author of Reincarnation Through Common Sense where he describes how the rural monks and nuns of a forest temple adopted a troubled soul from Brooklyn, New York.
Ten will discuss the hitchhiking adventures that he experienced while covering America’s highway’s. He has survived heroin addiction and death and is a graduate of over a hundred thousand miles of travel without ever driving a car, owning a phone or having a bank account. When we say to find Spirit we need to walk the road of our own destiny and true path this seems to fit Ten ideally.
Ten had an abused upbringing in his earlier life. As a teenage drug dealer and seeing that all the people in his neighborhood were either in jail or dead and had forgotten how to have fun, there was way too much suffering.
After attending eight different colleges and universities, Ten found that he learned more in other peoples cars and in thirty five years of hitchhiking across North America… Ten writes; “I grew up in Coney Island Brooklyn living in a city environment without space and quiet like in the country and this type of living causes people to worry and alter their ability to relax and trust in the goodness in life..everything in the city is hard, straight-lined and regimented.”
Doug “Ten”, says the 1960’s produced a widespread cultural revolution, sponsored by LSD. Music and philosophical mysticism were the parents and Ten was its child.. Ten also writes “The Earth’s best energy was exploding as a love fest created by a progressive youth that thought it was in the process of building a new world. Peaceful hopes, free love, ganja and a desire for reconciliation between man and Universe were forcing their way into the American psyche. Women’s rights, racial equality, sexual freedom, and also an atmosphere of freedom, and trust counterbalancing the worldwide chaos were the themes of the day. An opportunity to be Human again and embrace Brotherhood and noble values….The more idealistic among us actually considered Kindred Spirits to include everyone in the human race. Sheryl’s younger sister was caught up in the Spirit of Change and Unconditional Love…Sheryl was caught up in the systems of production and the Status Quo until she began to become aware of coincidences, synchronicities and mystical experiences, realizing the inner world of energy and spirit needed to be in alignment with the physical world of everyday living for best results. After Sheryl studied Reiki energy healing and began to download information from this higher informational plane of spirit, she realized consciousness survives physical death. The bigger picture of Life and Death changed dramatically giving way to the understanding that the Universal Nature of our energetic soul force is driving us to experience challenges in life for the purpose of refining our soul presence. Sheryl was in a position now through her many work experiences and travels in the world to delve deeply into philosophical and spiritual realities. In her new book The Living Spirit Sheryl hopes to expose readers to techniques for channeling their own higher awareness of these energies and the gift of life in order to manifest their own divine destiny.
Ten mentions he has met many interesting people along the road such as; Tibetan Lamas, specialists in smoke mirrors and invisibility, domestic violence and domestic solutions, Native American Wise men, and many other strangely wonderful people.
The training Ten received from Gape Lama, Lama Ontul, Rinpoche and Tashi Dolma and Lama Traga,
