Manifesto

Our vision is simple. In the words that were given to one spiritual teacher, Ram Dass, by his Guru “Maharaji”, “Love everyone and tell the truth.”

As we see it, all beings are a Unity of energy that has been called by some to be “Consciousness”. Its purpose for Being is to Be, to experience and learn. So, everyone’s life becomes a part of this, whereby we have unique experiences and, from these, gain wisdom. The goal of Consciousness is to awaken (to awaken is to realize, comprehend, know) and help others awaken.

We do this by sharing the Gnostic Wisdom we have learned, dispensing this to students both in-person and online. For those who attend the center in-person, we provide practices and group activities to support their spiritual journey, feeding them the light and strength they need to continue in their personal work. From this view, an in-person group can be highly nourishing for those who are able to “find their tribe” in this way.

For those who have studied with us remotely and would like support to build their own local groups, we are able to assist with council and guidance based on our experiences.

We believe any local group should retain its own autonomy and ability to stay true to what is required locally, without the direction of those from afar who may not fully understand what is happening on the ground.

The need to belong to a large institution is an attachment which some are not ready to let go of. So it is the right of those who need it, to be within such an arrangement.

For anyone who studies with us remotely and is prepared to start and run their own local group, we will provide the support for them to create that local point of light, in order for them to shine help towards those around them who will be grateful for this.

“The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.”

—John 1:5
