Known simply as "Rick " or "Rick the Immortal", Rick seems to espouse a non-dual approach, but also vociferously claims spiritual links to now-deceased California poet/author Charles Bukowski. Although Rick has at times paid tribute to Eckhart Tolle and Adyashanti for spiritual inspiration, he seems most consistently to credit the somewhat-unnaproachable American mystic Vinny Pinto as "most closely resonant with my spiritual approach".

Despite the self-chosen moniker "Rick the Immortal", this teacher does not seem to really believe that he is immortal, and rather, seems to use the term almost derisively, in a fashion similar to that of Charles Bukowski.

Beyond the above, little is known about Rick, because his utterances are sparse and often confusing. He nonetheless commands respect as a teacher of a sparse and lean, no-frills spritual approach.

Rick has recently become aware of this site. When asked what he thought, he just smiled. Rick has asked me to post a message. Here it is: "Folks, I would like to tell you of a great opportunity I have been aware of since 2009. My colleague, Vinny Pinto has recently invented an elixir that will make a person Immortal. And as far as I know there have been no human trials. I will be willing to offer myself up as a guinea pig and be the first one to experiment with this major elixir.
