Our Community is based on the vision of Wayne Teasdale calling for a universal interspiritual world community.

Staying AWAKE! Sat March 9th at 7pm (RSVP below)<br /> <br /> Staying AWAKE. A spiritual practice group for those who have "woken up from the dream" (our ego based dualistic perception of reality), are aware that our true reality is Pure Consciousnes<span class="text_exposed_hide"></span><span class="text_exposed_show">s , and who wish to reaman in that awareness more consistently.<br /><br /> Whether we call it Spirit, God, Consciousness, Brahman, Universal Love, or no name at all; regardless of our spiritual path, we know our true identity.<br /><br /> Our ego-based dualistic mind frequently attempts to convince us we are seperate from Pure Consciousness.<br /><br /> Staying AWAKE practice helps us to, as A Course In Miracles, says, remove the blocks to the awareness of Love. This is "Practicing the Presence".<br /><br /> This practice is a heart practice not an intellectual process. Consciousness cannot be experienced intellectually because it is beyond our limited intellect.<br /><br /> Our practice uses meditation, mantra, kirtan chants, singing bowls, drumming, and the CD chant music of Krishna Das, Deva Premal, and others to open our hearts to Consciousness. Education on the use of these "spiritual tools" will be provided.<br /><br /> Join us (please note this is not "entertainment"or "just a fun and interesting thing to do", it is spiritual practice).<br /> <span style="font-size: small;"><br /> RSVP HERE> <a href="http://www.meetup.com/Universalus-Community/events/104892022/" rel="nofollow nofollow" target="_blank">http://www.meetup.com/Universalus-Community/events/104892022/</a></span></span></div>

In the seeing there is merely the seeing. In the thinking there is merely the thinking. In the sensing there is merely the sensing.” We see, we hear, we think, we sense, we have feelings and emotions, but there doesn’t have to be this strong sense of, “I see. I hear. I feel. My emotions. My thoughts.” Meditation moves us in the direction of being able to simply see, simply hear, simply sense, simply think (thoughts passing through), simply feel (emotions coming and going).</div><div class="prod_para">We train in being present with whatever arises in our experience, whether it is pain or pleasure, something agreeable or disagreeable.

<div style="text-align: center;">
A universal inter-spiritual community for all Paths and all Traditions. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>"We are not human beings having a spiritual experience; we are spiritual beings having a human experience." - Pierre Teilhard de Chardin</i></div>
<br />
<br />
You don't have to live in a monastery, convent or temple to be a modern spiritual contemplative. <br />
<br />
The Universalus Interspiritual Community, a radically inclusive <b>non-residential</b> community of <b>women and men</b> is formed to: <br />
<br />
1. Provide a supportive, accepting, and affirming environment for individuals who are committed to an interspiritual approach to spirituality, encompassing all faiths and all traditions, and who wish to express their spirituality in a tradition without dogma.<br />
<br />
2. Provide service and good works to the community-at-large, especially those who are disenfranchised and marginalized. <br />
<br />
3. Promote the healing of the human experience wherein each person may realize his or her unique wholeness and holiness. <br />
<br />
The Universalus Community dedicate themselves to let compassion be real among all sentient beings<br />
<br />
Universalus members come from all walks of life and may be single, married, partnered, male, female,celibate or non-celibate, students, working or retired, and may or may not be able to make a “full time” commitment to the Community. Our Community does not discriminate in any way, especially in relation to gender, creed, religion, sexual orientation, or cultural background. The Community also does not discriminate in relation to age although individuals must be an adult (at least 18) to join. Because we believe that we are all children of the same Universe, we support one another on our individual spiritual journeys and show the reality of universal love and compassion to the world. <br />
<br />
All are welcome to join us in our commitment.<br />
<br />
<b>What is encouraged?</b><br />
As a, you have the support of others who are sharing this path with you. In this connection we develop loving compassion that unifies us as human beings. As Contemplatives we are present to the simplicity of life and continually aware of our our role as earthen vessels for the Universal Spirit. <br />
<br />
<b>1. Individual daily meditation</b><br />
<br />
We accomplish a sense of loving compassion through inner awareness by meditative practices. While you are free to choose your particular type of practice, we strongly suggest <a href="http://www.mro.org/zmm/teachings/meditation.php">Zazen practice</a> or <a href="http://dharma.ncf.ca/introduction/instructions/Thai-instructions.html">Insight meditation</a> daily. <br />
<br />
<b>2. Collective meditation and reflection</b><br />
<br />
Coming together for shared meditation and reflection is part of our communal life. Periods of communal meditation will be scheduled and all contemplatives of the Community are encouraged, <u>but not required,</u> to attend if possible. <br />
<br />
<b>3. Awareness of, and respect for, the rituals of all faiths.</b> <br />
<br />
Contemplatives and Spiritual Affiliates of the Community are encouraged,<u> but not required</u>, to plan and implement Interfaith spiritual events for the edification of the other members and the community-at-large. <br />
<br />
<b>4. Willingness to teach</b><br />
<br />
Your particular spiritual journey and/or faith practice has implications for all of us. It is important that we all be teachers and learners for each other. We wish to learn what your individual experience has taught you, so that your experience can teach us. <br />
<br />
<b>5. Willingness to agree to group consciousness</b><br />
<br />
Our belief is that the “Universal Wisdom” instructs us through group consciousness. We agree to discuss together our efforts and activities as a community and make many of our decisions based on this Universal group consciousness. See our Resonance Vow. <br />
<br />
<b>6. Commitment to honesty and integrity</b><br />
<br />
As members of the Community we agree to always be honest with ourselves and each other, and to act with integrity in all of our actions. <br />
<br />
<b>7. Commitment to playfulness, humor and joyfulness</b><br />
<br />

Sunday, Nov 7th at 5 p.m.This is definitely<u> <span style="font-size: large;">not</span></u><span style="font-size: large;"> </span>your usual quiet mind meditation! <br />
Evocative group meditation uses taped chants as background for you to go to a deeper meditative state and approach the Universal Source. Chants include <a href="http://www.outofbodytravel.org/sacredchantrecitation/nativeamericanchants.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #2175b1;">Native American</span></a>, <a href="http://www.krishnadas.com/chanting.cfm" target="_blank"><span style="color: #2175b1;">Kirtan</span></a>, a part of the path of Devotional Yoga, <a href="http://kirtanrabbi.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #2175b1;">Hebrew Kirtan</span></a>, <a href="http://www.last.fm/listen/artist/Gregorian/similarartists#pane=webRadioPlayer&station=%252Flisten%252Fartist%252FGregorian%252Fsimilarartists" target="_blank"><span style="color: #2175b1;">Gregorian chant</span></a>, and others. It is important to pay attention to images and other sensations that may arise during the meditation experience as it can be the Source communicating with you through images. At the end of the meditation period, there will be a brief period of time to share your experiences if you choose to. You are welcome to bring percussion instruments (hand drums, etc), to drum along with the chants.

Although the Course makes it clear that it is appropriate for any path, it helps us see that we create the world we see internally and project it outward, and that this world is an illusion. The only true reality is the mind of God, the Universal Spirit.
