Just as a
sidenote to those who patiently read the email threads awhile back about
"Unitive Consciousness", I thought I'd update you with this news that that
subject is going more and more "mainstream" as in the two conferences
noted below. This is copied out of our Inter-spiritual Dialogue
Newsletter (National Service Conference at the
UN).
News Item 2.
University of California Sponsors Discussion of “Unitive
Consciousness”.
This summer
the University of California, Berkeley, sponsored a discussion among spiritual
practicioners, psychotherapists, and psychiatrists of “Unitive
Consciousness”. The conference was
called the
“Conference on Non-Dual Wisdom and Psychotherapy”. Key speakers were Leonard Jacobson,
whose website is given below, along with some others speakers who had also
appeared at a similar conference in La
Jolla, California. These included Adyashanti (a
Zen/Advaita teacher who is very revered by other eastern teachers), Douglas
Harding (whose work in child psychology was
featured in a previous LINKS
Newsletter ), and Gangaji (one of the first people to be given
permission to teach Advaitic [Hindu-related] Unitive
Consciousness by Papaji, one of Ramana Maharshi’s
successors).

thought this update might
interest you six Nabophiles. I still owe one of you (Stephen)
some things. I have been down with walking pneumonia (going on now
for 16 days!)...not pleasant re: the experience of the body etc. but at least
the antibiotics seems to finally be working! Hope you are all
well!
