Pages relocated to this maya-gaia.angelfire.com site.
Mystical Experience- A reprint of booklet published in 1972 documenting a spontaneous transcendent episode which I experienced two years earlier. It presents an anecdotal account of what I later learned is commonly associated with a Neo Tantra yoga scenario where sexual union culminated (for me but not my partner) in a supreme transcendence- a Nirvikalpa Samadhi. In my case however the event occurred in an environment devoid of any religious symbolism, belief or significance as we were an agnostic couple in a significant relationship and simply intent on "making love".
Atheism Politics An examination of the threat militant atheism and secular humanist fundamentalism pose to our republic under the expedient "faith" of the Obama administration- with further reading on atheism, deism, pantheism, panentheism, etc.

Conscious Survival Links to Opinions Regarding Consciousness Survival and Near Death Experience. Is there a rational argument to support belief in a Nondual Conscious Immortality? Who are the KNOWERS of ultimate non duality and DEATH? Is every occult and paranormal experience or NDE an insight to some aspect of the realm of the unseen and unknowable or are the ultimate episodes of Samadhi, Satori, Moksha, Gnosis the only clear experience of a cosmic consciousness?

Dual Nondual Model Concurrent, Two-Tier, Dual-Nondual, 200 Percent; heuristic metaphysical Model of Reality that manifests a living relationship in duality with God within Advaita's ultimate nondual state of Brahman and Buddhism's Void. I had every expectation that the result would be something that conformed to a particular non dual school. Instead, I had to borrow principles and concepts from traditions that have fundamental disagreements to which I've added my own contradictions to all. My "model" is only a crude outline of the supreme numinous of conscious/reality and should be perceived as a holographic conceptual space wherein the states of consciousness and transcendent and immanent tiers interfere concurrently to create a blurred pattern of blended possibilities for an outline of a Brahman/Gaia Paradigm.
Ecospirituality Controversy Examination with links to the debate over eco spirituality and position of the Wilberian Integral Spirituality community that Gaia Addiction is something to 'rise above'.

Gaian Paradigm by Bill Ellis "The three themes of this book are 1. Our world view or paradigms are shaped by our cultural nurturing; 2. There are no evil paradigms but just cultures we do not understand; 3. The technology that connects us to each other reveals the cosmos as one and makes possible a new direct democracy in which all people can make decisions to improve their lives."

The Godhead Experience Experiencing the Godhead-Brahman-Atman-Cosmic Consciousness Singularity. In a skeptical yet open-minded overview of the Perennial Wisdom traditions of Advaita Vedanta, Kashmir Saivism, Zen Buddhism, Vajrayana Buddhism, and contemplative Taoism (the main five sacred traditions that have engendered the rise of nonduality in the West)- a single metaphysical concept survives all doubt. That it is possible for our living consciousness to experience the supreme Godhead-Atman-Brahman-Bodhi singularity in a brief episode of non-dual transcendent consciousness- after which the knower returns to mundane life.
Guru Bad Behavior There are many contemporary and some historic accounts of behavior by both anointed and self-proclaimed enlightened ones that seem inconsistent with that prescribed in classical Vedic and Buddhist Dharma. Our issue is with the basis of claims to their enlightenment, the substance of the ideologies they embrace and whether the character of their interpersonal relationships and lifestyle betray their own teachings.

Maya Project The notion of this universe, its heavens, hells, Mother Earth and everything within it, as a great dream dreamed by a single being in which all the dream characters are dreaming too, has in India enchanted and shaped the entire civilization. This perceptual enigma has been a fundamental feature in the dialectics of non dual traditions and lurks in the context of every contemporary spiritual/scientific paradigm.
Gaia Symbol The Gaia paradigm- symbol and theory: Beyond James Lovelock's metaphor for Earth as a holistic self-regulating organism, Gaia can also be perceived as somewhat similar to the divine feminine of Daoist yang, the Hindu Shakti, Lakshmi and Devi as well as the Sophia of the gnostics. In my dual-nondual model of reality Gaia is a manifestation of all cosmic reality as immanence of transcendent consciousness or Brahman.

As of April 30, 2009 I've turned 81 and officially become classified as an elderly senior. I'm hoping some younger writer who has a deist/philosophical turn of mind and finds my samadhi chronicles of value and ideologically compatible could continue to build the Maya-Gaia website in partnership with me until I go eternally non-dual and then have it as their own production (it's free!). Although my writings are exclusively from the perspective of my Samadhi revelations I feel they are a unique contribution to the body of evidence for the Brahman/Gaian Paradigm and should not be lost after I'm gone. Anyone interested can Email me at smalltownsATusaDOTcom and enter mayagaia as subject.
Thanks for visiting my new home at maya-gaia.angelfire.com
