Collegium for Contemporary Spirituality
WELCOME
After being exposed to countless challenges in my life, I found myself absorbed deeper and deeper in the world's spiritual literature and teachings of various enlightened persons. Some time later I discovered that I have become a deeply spiritual person myself and never would want to go back to my agnostic state from the times before my spiritual transformation took place. The questions I was asking myself for many years now were: Who are we? Why are we here? What is our destiny? How do we know that we know? In other words: What are the workings of the process of cognition? What is Consciousness? Aren't we conscious all the time while not asleep? Who is an expert on the topic of Consciousness? Who can be an expert? How the issue of Consciousness is related to the spiritual dimension of life? The purpose of my spiritual writings is to present a perspective on our ontological reality - a perspective which fully embraces the spiritual dimension of being, together with the internal dimensions of mind (sphere of intellect and thinking), emotions and the external physical dimension (material manifestation of our reality).
As a species we are currently progressing towards the end of the era of the lower mind hegemony over human affairs. Lower mind is a tool we possess, which has developed over millennia and is allowing us to live an intelligent life in this earthly dimension. The lower mind has facilitated the formation of our society, and our progress in areas such as science, arts and government. With our lower minds we have been continually creating our reality. An allowance for the existence of a Higher Mind can only be made, if we accept the fact that there is more to conscious thought than the workings of the lower mind allow us to know. In the writings published here I explore these questions and related issues.
I wrote these pages particularly for those people who have been endowed with a degree of spiritual intuition and are not averse to spending some time in contemplation. Many theses elaborated upon in my writings will not be understood by those people for whom the lower mind is their essential master. I hope that these people who have hearts to intuit will comprehend the main message of this work, that is, how important it is to throw off the lower mind's occupation and the resulting slavery to the lower dimensions of Consciousness in the world.
Everything written here has been experienced and validated on the intellectual, emotional and spiritual levels. This work is a reflection and a result of legitimate experiences in the subtle realm of Spiritual Mind, Emotion and Intuition. As much as it was possible at the time of writing, information from the Eastern and Western Schools of Wisdom, contemporary findings in science as well as theses from spiritual philosophy were combined to produce this new view of reality.
Let us join in the intimate knowledge of spiritual dimension and be grateful to the Lord, our God, for helping us and for showing the way on every step in our eternal journey to perfection.
