Although Jerry Stocking is not widely known, I believe he is one of the greater spiritual teachers alive today.
Jerry's history is incredible fascinating. He was originally trained as an EST seminar leader, where he learned to observe people's patterns and the structure of personality.
In the years that followed, Jerry developed his own system for the dismantling of personality and the creation of possibility in a sales context.
In the meantime, a flexibility was growing inside of him. Jerry became more familiar with possibility, and the no-thing from which it is created.
After intense years of self observation, the internal dialogue in Jerry's head ceased and his thoughts began to move faster than he could observe them.
Jerry originally thought this was enlightenment, but has realized in recent years, that he experiences varying degrees of awakeness.
Jerry does not claim to be more awake or important than anyone else, but consistently explores interactions that will wake people up and have them living with more possibility. He is far from the model of the guru on top of the mountain, sharing peace with passerby's.
He is instead a guru in the modern world. Enjoying humanity's modern fruits, and observing the situation as we create it.
He leads workshops and has authored several books to aid people in discovering their own awakeness. The attendees of these workshops are "hunting awakeness" themselves and often experience brief moments of intense personal insight.
I nominate Jerry Stocking as a modern spiritual teacher for distinguishing a spiritual path dedicated to waking up by helping others wake up.
