Cirak set out to learn from the great spiritual teachers and texts, both ancient and of our time. He counts Eckhart Tolle, Alan Watts, J. Krishnamurti, Thich Nhat Hanh, Osho, Ram Daas, Deepak Chopra, Bob Proctor, and Wayne Dyer among his primary influences, while also diving into material like A Course in Miracles, Law of Attraction, Joseph Campbell’s myth, and Dr. Brian Weiss’ regression work. His ongoing reading list includes everything from the classic Hindu Upanishads and Lao Tzu’s Tao Teh Ching, to the many ancient Greek philosophers like Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle, to Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius’ writings.
