The Homecoming
The spiritual search is not an ascent but a return
The FASO Way newsletter — exploring how to thrive as an artist in the age of AI
Today, we have a post today by Shiv Sengupta, the man and the mind behind the publication Dark Dawn.
Shiv is the Author of the Advaitaholics Anonymous series of books. His avant-garde, no-nonsense approach to the existential questions of life has captured the minds of readers across the globe. With a balance of caustic wit and profound insight, his writing throws down the gauntlet for each person to confront reality by themselves, without the assurances of authority figures, the dictates of dogma and the comfort of cultural belief systems.
Clint’s note: Shiv is one of the few writers whom I carefully read every single essay he posts and I believe today’s essay has great value for people from all walks of life but, especially, for those of us pursuing creativity and the truth of the self, which, in the end, are the same pursuit.
