Monkey Mind's articles cover a wide array of topics within the broader themes of religion, meditation, naturalism, spirituality, and philosophy. They seem to be particularly interested in Zen Buddhism and its intersection with Western culture. Given their focus on expert commentary and opinion editorial pieces, they may be open to receiving pitches from scholars or practitioners who can provide thoughtful insights into these areas.

Therefore, when reaching out it would be beneficial to offer perspectives that are globally relevant as well as those that shed light on the cultural intersections discussed in their articles.

I'm deeply interested in religious syncretisms. Possibly my favorite is the Luminous Religion, a Nestorian mission to China which flourished between the seventh and tenth centuries.
An enormously interesting thinker and an important influence in the evolution of Unitarian thought as it moved to an ever more naturalistic posture.
A man's ignorance sometimes is not only useful but beautiful—while his knowledge, so called, is oftentimes worse than useless, beside being ugly. Which is the best man to deal with: He who knows nothing about a subject, and, what is extremely rare, knows that he knows nothing, or he who really knows something about it but thinks that he knows all?
