P.S. I love your cat, Rick! Nice guest appearance. :)

[TimeIsNowToAwaken]

Just got word about this interview. Thank you Rick & Matt for this exchange. Having spent a great deal of time with him (MAtt) in satsang and private sessions, I will tell you that he truly, 1000% believes EVERYONE and everything in life is special. He lives in service to love, blessings,and gratitude for how miraculous we ALL ARE. Namaste.

Teachers who are so clear and open sometimes become a blank canvas for one's egoic projections of unresolved heartache and emotional turmoil. My experience with Matt Kahn and Julie Dittmar has been such precious, treasured, sweet, unconditional love. They teach us by living example to walk in the grace, beauty, peace, freedom, and love of our true nature. My heart knows this truth and I am eternally grateful for all the blessings this has brought to every part of my life. In gratitude-Sharyn

don't be fooled by thinking that feelings of agitation or opposition are the clearest form of seeing. If you're feeling anything less than love in any moment, maybe that means you could use some more of it???? :) I'll be the first to step up here and offer you all some big love. After so many years of avid spiritual pursuits, if all of this hasn't delivered you right to the doorstep of love, you are missing the entire point of the spiritual journey. Lotsa love to all *Jenna

Oh my goodness, egos getting engaged &reacting &responding to what was never said to support a very steadfast, "certain" viewpoint. When the heart is open and loving, there is nothing to be wary of, and nothing to defend. There is all to embrace. Matt has always only and quite simply been about love. Look with the heart and see what is awaiting your discovery. As a great teacher, Matt always points to exploring Truth for yourself.Look with the eyes of your own heart and don't be fooled by..

@TravisChantGuy Be wary of teachers who say they are special in some way, especially when it involves archangels and downloads from the universe... i can assure you this is 100% bullshit (and marketing). Nobody is special, and we all are. This beautiful journey is about our soul's maturity, which we call "enlightenment" when we're trying to reach for something still unknown.

Thanks Rick for such a great conversation, here! I also wanted to say that like TravisChantGuy, I have seen Matt's offerings and they are all big blessings! Matt doesn't simply point to the truth of what you are; he supports people through all aspects of life's journey with the most "to the root of the matter" intuition I've EVER experienced. He is tapped in!! He's not only a phenomenal teacher of integrity, but healer of the highest caliber. He IS all about sincerity, compassion, and LOVE.

@zedoid P.S. Many of us have attended Matt's satsangs and they are always offered on a donation basis. I see nothing wrong with him receiving appreciation in whatever form it comes to him for the tremendous value and healing he his offering the world. I pay a massage therapist for a massage and for their time, I pay a chef for a great meal (that I eat and then it's gone), but Matt's messages are with me for a lifetime. I truly cannot come up with enough ways to show my gratitude! NAMASTE.

[TravisChantGuy]

@zedoid I've worked with Matt individually on several occasions and know many others who've worked with him, as well. Our meeting times have been some of the most powerfully transformative, eye-opening, heart opening encounters of my entire life. I know for a fact that he offers a sliding scale option. Everything and everyone is always included. His web site states: "We always honor sliding scale requests from those who are experiencing extreme financial hardship."

Peace and love,

Travis

The bit about money is highly hypocritical. He tells us about love and giving, and how he received a dollar from a homeless man and so on... and yet, the only fact we really have is the very high price tag he puts on an hour session with him over the internet : $200.

If it's all about love, Matt, then humbly suggest a donation. Then you won't have to talk about the "money issue"... A teacher should be compensated for his/her time, but $200 an hour ?.. There's no business like Know-business.
