    Thank you so much for having Alok on! I have listened to this episode at least 5x and have sent it to multiple friends. Thank you, Alok for coming on. TY Podcrushers for great questions! On to look at Thomas Mertons...

    This is touching. A rare combination of intellectual rigour and emotional intelligence. My (Alok conversation) entrance point was a political controversy, but my exit point is spiritual awakening and mission, and I understand that is what they want.

    Alok belongs to a lineage of the greatest love-archers that existence has ever known. Each articulation, an arrow tipped in such intimacy and inclusivity that it is lethal to the loveless sabotage that tries to enslave our hearts and souls. Every word is uttered in defense of spirit, in protection of love's spectral magnitude. Through the perforations created by the poetics of this love-archer, my original and glamorous, infinite lovefull-ness beams, radiates from me as was always the way it should have been. I am in the humblest state to witness this reunion of the child and the elder into the harmony that they belong to. My whole heart is with you, Alok, and all others doing the cosmic work of the chrysalis--Trans...form..ing.

    I love Alok! They've been very inspiring to me as a South Asian on their own gender identity journey. Would love to meet them one day. I loved the discussion around safety too - we each decide for ourselves (or convince ourselves) what makes us feel the most safe. The whole episode gave me so much to think about.

    Omfg, you guys. I spent the whole last week in the Adirondacks as the chaplain at church camp, with every minute scheduled, and no Wi-Fi. The things I did to still access the audio for this episode 😂. Never heard of Alok, but *love* them now. Suuuuuuuuch a deep spiritual conversation, the kind I love you for ❤. I MELTED when they brought up Thomas Merton, I adore him!

    There are so many things that resonated with me that Alok discussed I would literally just be transcribing everything he said. What he would say to his 12 year old self - don’t let people steal your belief in magic - this is exactly what me, at 43 years old, is trying to get back. Such an amazing episode, thank you 🙏🏽 ❤

    "Cleanses the rust from off the heart," truly! ALOK is the embodiment of that phrase, and gives the space for what that means. They are one of the perfect guests for this podcast. "Cleanses the rust from off the heart," is what this podcast does for me.
