My father was doing yoga every day. He did asanas. He meditated. We had a million texts. We had a huge library in the house from Carl Gustav Jung to Sigmund Freud to Eric Fromm, Alan Watts, all the stuff that was floating around during that time. My mom was an aerobics instructor, and she was becoming a massage therapist. She was... just a very giving person and a community leader.

I remember that she collected people and everyone circled around my mom. She was like the sun.

Everything changed. My mom's death was cataclysmic. It changed my entire life. It broke my father, even though my father continued to be a very high spiritual teacher and a master. His heart was completely broken. My brother was completely destroyed by it. He went into his own agonizing pain. I was so traumatized. To lose your mom, I was almost seven when she died.

I was two months shy of being seven. And to lose your mom when you're that young, it's not...

and twitching and so much craziness. And we had no money too. My mom was, she was, we had no money in general because we were immigrants coming from Russia, but she was more of a structured, grounded human being. My father was just out to lunch as an alien and he irradiated light, but he didn't care about worldly possessions. He didn't care about money.

I still don't think that's where security comes from. But my dad really was like a rebel. He was just, I don't need money. And so we just had no money and mice. There was men raising a little girl. There was no maternal factor anymore.
