It was founded in the mid-4th century, perhaps in 356, on Anthony’s burial site.WAKE UP PRESS
Promoting Excellence in Spirituality. The Wake Up Press is a small, family-owned press that is gearing up for releasing probably in 2019 two exciting volumes by Timothy Conway (major life-circumstance factors have caused a long absence from writing and hence a delay inpublishing).
MEISTER ECKHART
Meister Eckhart (1260-c1328)—Nondual Christian Mystic Sage. The deeply influential German Catholic mystic theologian and spiritual psychologist Meister Eckhart was the most illustrious spiritual instructor of his day. He was also unjustly condemned as a heretic by the papacy after an impressive career of writing, teaching, preaching NEO-ADVAITA OR PSEUDO-ADVAITA AND REAL ADVAITA-NONDUALITY Real. Advaita-Nonduality. —traps and pitfalls in the “Neo-Advaita” or “Pseudo-Advaita” form of Advaita (Nondual) spirituality—what might also be called “Problematic Advaita”. —discussions of Indian sage Papaji (HWL Poonja), and various figures such as Karl Renz, Andrew Cohen, Gangaji, and others. —a discussionof money
3 LEVELS OF NONDUAL REALITY Thus, we can identify the "Three Levels of Nondual Reality" as: Level 3: the pragmatic level of mundane reality and conventional experience, involving the "appropriate and inappropriate," "helpful and harmful," "skillful and unskillful," "right and wrong," "justice and injustice," 4 KINDS OF SPIRITUAL TEACHER Four Kinds of Spiritual Teachers:Nonduality (Advaita), Ethics, Authentic and Inauthentic Sages. Sunday Feb. 27, 2005. Within the life-dream nondually conjured up by Consciousness, made of nothing but Consciousness, we can consider the “relative reality,” the conventional world of “rights and wrongs,” “justices andinjustices

EXPLORE ONE OF THE INTERNET'S MOST EXTENSIVE WEBSITES ON TRULY HEALTHY AND ENLIGHTENED SPIRITUALITY, AWAKENING TO ABSOLUTE AWARENESS, A PROFOUNDLY NONDUAL THEOLOGY OF GOD, THE LIVES AND TEACHINGS OF SAGES AND SAINTS (FOR FEMALE ADEPTS, SEE OUR HUGE _WOMEN OF SPIRIT_ RESOURCE), AND MANY ARTICLES ON OUR MYSTICAL TRADITIONS, WORLD RELIGIONS, POWERS OF CONSCIOUSNESS, EMOTIONAL HEALING, STYLES OF MEDITATION, SACRED RELATIONSHIPS, CONSCIOUS DYING INTO ETERNAL LIFE, SPIRITUALIZED POLITICS, WONDERS OF SCIENCE, SPIRITUAL HUMOR, AND MORE. Here you can always remember to breathe more fully, love everyone more deeply, and relax more easily into/as the Divine One who is the Light and Truth of WHO WE REALLY ARE. Is it really possible to live an enlightened life of all-embracing _love_, compassionate _service_, and actual _freedom_ from binding ego-tendencies? Can one live spontaneously yet intelligently from the sublime fragrance of real _wholesomeness_ and bountiful _generosity_? Can one, in short, awaken from the ultimately miserable "me"-dream to the inspired grandeur of Divine Awakening? The answer to each of these questions is YES. Behold an assembly of humanity's _most eminent spiritual leaders_—from Jesus and the Buddha and many luminaries of ancient and medieval times to our era's Ramana Maharshi, Shirdi Sai Baba, Ramakrishna, Narayana Guru, Meher Baba, Nityananda, Nisargadatta, Dadaji (Amiya Roy Chowdhury), Neeb Karori (Neem Karoli) Baba, Padre Pio, Gemma Galgani, Maria Esperanza, Mother Teresa, Thich Nhat Hanh, Taungpulu Sayadaw, Dipa Ma, Ajahn Chah, Hsu-yun, Hsuan-hua, Cheng Yen, Kyongho, Mangong, Daehaeng, Kusan, Harada Roshi, the 14th Dalai Lama, Dilgo Khyentse, 16th Karmapa, Sheikh al-Alawi, Hazrat Babajan, Anasuya Devi, Anandamayi Ma —along with _several thousand_ other sages, saints, adepts, prophets and incarnations within all our sacredtraditions....
All these impressive figures have clearly shown us over the millennia what it is to have genuinely "let go, let God" (God = Awareness-Love-Reality-Spirit-Brahman-Atman-Buddhata-Tao-AinSof-Allah). They are _enlightened_—without narrowly identifying with any_one_ who is "enlightened" or claiming any special, superior _state_ of "enlightenment." They are entirely lightened up, illumined, awake, free, clear, emptied out and filled up with Divine virtue. In a world with so much craziness, crassness and corruption on display, especially rife within the easily-exploited fields of religion, we can all be thankful that, as Sufi poet-saint Jalaluddin Rumi once remarked, "counterfeiters only exist because there is _real gold_." TRULY ENLIGHTENED SPIRITUAL ONES EXIST (emanated by the Divine as "dream figures" to awaken us) and TRULY ENLIGHTENED SPIRITUALITY IS POSSIBLE FOR ANYONE WILLING TO LET DYSFUNCTIONAL EGOCENTRICITY DISSOLVE IN THE DIVINE REALITY OF ABSOLUTE, INFINITE AWARENESS. Countless people today ask what it means to live a deeper spiritual life.... Beyond the old dilemma of whether to _renounce_ the world or _immerse_ oneself in it, the enlightened "Free Beings" (the _Avatâra_-Incarnations and awake adepts) show us how to freely _transcend yet pervade the world with Love and Light_ through the _Power of Pure Awareness_. This DIVINE REALITY OF PURE AWARENESS, OPEN PRESENCE OR SPIRIT, the one Sacred Principle, is both _BEYOND ALL_ YET _WITHIN ALL_. As the theologians say, this Divine Awareness/Reality is both transcendent _and_ immanent. Not any kind of "thing" but the SOURCE, WITNESS AND REALITY OF ALL THINGS, this God-Self is _other_ than this world, yet _right here_ animating and embracing this dreamlike world and all her deliciously unique beings. Let's be completely clear about This: Awareness is WHO YOU REALLY ARE, RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW, THE INFINITE, OPEN, IMPERCEPTIBLE (BUT QUITE _LIVE_-ABLE OR _BE_-ABLE) HOST FOR ALL "GUEST" EXPERIENCES, as the Zenmasters say.
Awareness is the Supreme Self, the unseen Seer of seeing, the unheard Hearer of hearing, the unthinkable Thinker of thinking, as the _Brihadaranyaka Upanishad_ (our oldest wisdom text) revealed Divine Truth nearly 3,000 years ago. Hence, anyone living and flourishing in/as Divine Awareness-Bliss-Love can be totally _INVOLVED_ in the world while entirely _UNINVOLVED_, fully _ENGAGED_ while completely _FREE AS THE ONE WHO ALONE IS_, the I AM THAT AM. This God-Self or Divine Dreamer, the true Living God, Pure Open Awareness, adventures as "I am this" or "I am that," delightfully playing the always-poignant role of the individual human, animal or celestial being, eventually awakening ItSelf (from Its egocentric soul condition) to the clarity of Divine Presence, the only Reality. One's life, therefore, can be a beautiful unfolding flower of virtue, eventually fully blossoming into a life of Divine splendor.* * * * * * * * *
As you explore this multi-faceted website, we think you'll find this to be ONE OF THE MOST EXTENSIVE SITES FOR AUTHENTIC SPIRITUAL LIFE ON THE INTERNET ("authentic" in philosopher Ken Wilber's sense of opening one to the highest/deepest experiential levels). So, having arrived at this site, make yourself at home, and BOOKMARK THIS PAGE for easily returning whenever you wish. INFORM FRIENDS about this spiritual resource. NEW MATERIALS WILL BE ADDED over the years to the already sizeable content available at this site, such as new essays, photos, book-titles, links to other websites, and other items of interest. Check out the WHAT'S NEW page for updates. Here you'll find a big collection of offerings, wide-ranging across a number of topics, and also RANGING FROM "BASIC" TO "ADVANCED" LEVELS OF SPIRITUALITY. We feature numerous SECTIONS OR DOMAINS for exploring different facets of this many-sided jewel of spiritual life. THESE SECTIONS OR DOMAINS CAN BE ACCESSED FROM AT ANY TIME BY SIMPLY CLICKING ON ONE OF THE BUTTONS AT THE TOP-LEFT OF EACH WEBPAGE: • NONDUAL OR MYSTICAL SPIRITUALITY--Mysticism, "a transcendental form of common sense" (as G.K. Chesterton put it), is a hot trend today, especially in its _nondual_ mode. Discover the way to intuitively awaken to the One Truth of God or Pure Awareness, while avoiding the "de-personalization" pitfall or confusion over the "two truth levels." In short, learn to discern authentic nondual spirituality from "neo-" or "pseudo-nonduality." When selfishness fully drops off, when there is utter relaxing of all "knots of the heart," one discovers the blissfully Infinite God-Self, wonderfully _beyond_ all yet _within_ all. As sage Nisargadatta Maharaj of Bombay so beautifully stated the balanced spiritual life to us, "Wisdom says I am nothing; Love says I am everything." Many readers have found especially helpful here the short essay _Our Real Nature_ and the long section on _Questions & Answers on Nondual Spiritual Awakening_, as well as the teachings of illustrious Indian sages Nisargadatta, Ramana Maharshi, Meher Baba, and Jnaneshvar, Japanese Zen master Bankei, and British sage Douglas Harding also featured at this Nondual Spirituality section. • RELIGION AND SPIRITUALITY--At this LARGEST subdomain of our website, you can read many informative and detailed essays on the histories of our WORLD RELIGIONS, with key sages and saints, important insights and terms, extensive bibliographies and lovely images. You'll also find besides these overview essays on the different religions a number of SUBSTANTIAL PRESENTATIONS ON THE LIVES AND TEACHINGS OF OUR MOST EMINENT SPIRITUAL LEADERS AND THEIR TEACHINGS, including the Buddha, Jesus, Lao Tzu and Chuang Tzu, John Scottus Eriugena, St. Francis of Assisi, Meister Eckhart, John of the Cross, Bayazid Bistami, Hakim Sanai, Qadir al-Jilani, Jalaluddin Rumi, Jnaneshvar, Milarepa, Bankei, Moshe Cordovero, the Ba'al Shem Tov, and others from our Great Traditions. See, too, a few excerpts from _Our Religions' Future_, the final work in Timothy's trilogy to be published someday in the "Spirituality in the New Millennium" series. • WOMEN OF SPIRIT: SAINTS, TEACHERS, HEALERS, SISTERHOODS AND GODDESSES OF EAST & WEST--A free online narrative encyclopedia that i compiled in the early 1990s, equivalent to over 1,200 pages of printed material. This project archives in a single place more information and inspiration than can be found anywhere in print or in cyberspace on many hundreds of women spiritual adepts from all of our religious traditions, including the major religions as well as many dozens of new religious movements of the past 150 years. Enjoy this enormous book-resource here for free (click the Women of Spirit tab at the bottom of our list of menu tabs at the upper left section of anywebpage).
• HEALTHY AND UNHEALTHY SPIRITUALITY--Distinguish _empowering_, highly _functional_ spiritual life from _dis_-empowering, _dys_functional "cultism," and discern _healthy from unhealthy theologies_. Explore a truly empowering _panentheist_ model of God (no mere theism or pantheism), as well as a _major new schema on religion_ outlining the _12 different spiritual temperaments_. Learn _useful criteria for optimal well-being_ (that is, find out the real _goal of spiritual life_) and also _"how spirituality is so very good for you"_on so many levels.
• SOUL-FULL SPIRITUALITY--Here, we focus on the soul-level in our Reality as body-mind-_soul_-Spirit, and examine parapsychology studies of psi powers and thanatology evidence from five different research-angles to find out "_what survives_?" "_what awaits the soul on the 'other side'_?" and "_what is conscious dying and Eternal Life beyond being a separate soul, i.e., as Spirit?_" Learn, too, about dealing with and fully releasing _powerful emotions_, and explore an ancient map of the _six different kinds of karma/ego-tendencies_ to understand why people behave the way they do and why our real goal is not some "heaven" but complete God-Realization, waking up from the dream of being a born/dying/reincarnating "me." • ENGAGED SPIRITUALITY--Whereas _mysticism_ is awakening to our True Identity as Infinite Awareness, the Open-Free "I," _engaged spirituality_ is compassionately opening unto the "I" that is "We." This website section features a lengthy webpage on Ethical Vegan Eating (our only hope to turn around climate change and end the horrifying agony of trillions of fellow animals); a long _Sun_ magazine interview from 2003 with Timothy Conway on engaged and mystic spirituality; an op-ed piece written after 9/11, featured in the Gandhi Institute periodical, on how to peacefully resolve the terrorism issue; an eye-opening essay on liberation theology and the Vatican's official Catholic radically progressive economic doctrine (largely censored in the U.S. news media); excerpts from Timothy's forthcoming book _Healing Our World_; and Mahatma Gandhi on nonviolence and being a _satyagrahi_, a "truth force" peace-person who remedies injustices with justice and fairness, compassion and courage. • RELATIONSHIP SPIRITUALITY--Realize how the God-Self or Pure Awareness always _transcends yet includes relationship_. So, what is this nondual Self in its relationship-dance? What is healthy commitment, communication and peacemaking? What is it to fulfil the commandment of Torah and Rabbi Jesus to "love thy neighbor as thySelf?" Check out a relational form of "self-enquiry": "My partner's bodymind personality seems 'over there'—_but where is my partner'strue Awareness?_"
• SCIENCE AND SPIRITUALITY--Behold our universe's uncanny anomalies, veritable "cosmic miracles," and how one famous atheist scientist concluded: "a super-intellect has monkeyed with physics, as well as chemistry and biology." A provocative survey for _Nature_ magazine showed nearly 50% of scientists believe in a "personal" God, suggesting that many more scientists believe either in this or a more sophisticated "transpersonal" idea of God. Find out why neither materialism or contemporary "intelligent design" camps offer satisfactory models for this dreamlike cosmos. Peruse excerpts from a second volume of the trilogy in preparation, _Spirit, Science & Deep Wonder_. Moreover, in our tragically "dumbed-down era," see what it means to _think carefully and critically_, for instance, how to _determine the validity of truth-claims--fact or fiction?_ Finally, an essay on _miracles and paranormal powers_ is available for reading, with _great bibliographies_ on physics, cosmology, parapsychology, healing, and other topics; and see a paper on one particularly well-studied and extensively applied _psi_ power—remote viewing. • MEDITATION AND SPIRITUALITY--There are several styles of meditation from which to choose: convergent-concentrative meditation; divergent-"opening" (witnessing, mindfulness) meditation; wisdom meditation; devotional meditation (Divine surrender); and self-inquiry (Who/What am I?). And of course there are different levels of "depth" in meditation and meditative living. You can also open to the “highest” meditation of spontaneously being meditated by the Divine in pure experiencing, beyond effort and structure. • SPIRITUAL HUMOR--A ton of funny items and favorite jokes, collected over the years or sent to me by friends and family. Recall another gem from theologian G.K. Chesterton, who said "angels can fly because they take themselves lightly!" While "devils" fall from grace due to serious, heavy pride and greed. There's also now a link at this subdomain to a distinct webpage on ZEN HUMOR, with classical tales and hilarious paintings from China and Japan. • AESTHETIC SPIRITUALITY-- Here, beyond words, you'll find original photos of nature and sacred art images old and new--that is, if we can get enough bandwith down the road for this website. With enough space, we can even include some sacred music. Some of these domains have more content to be uploaded, so remember to bookmark this homepage and come back whenever you want inspiration in the _wonderful domain of healthy, holy, enlightened spirituality!_* * * * * * * * *
