During my college years I studied primarily economics and spirituality; which led me to feel that it would be difficult to live a truly holistic spiritual lifestyle in our modern commercial society unless one had a significant ability to strongly influence ones obligations and environment.

Today people say in order to be truly happy, you should love what you do and do what you love. What I’m suggesting is almost as simple as that. But it’s more than that too. I would add that; I hope you do what enriches you spiritually; meaning that it establishes love & wisdom in your heart & mind.

I believe the most enriching life is to have a deep personal connection to all the people and living beings in your life and though them to all life on the planet and spirits everywhere. And I do mean having a deep meaningful relationship with all the people in your life; your co-worker, your boss, your doctor, your neighbors, their families, the people you disagree with, and the ones who disagree with you.

Basically I’m suggesting that a deeper sense of intentional spiritual community more fully supports our deeper aspirations then any other environment. I’m not suggesting a cloister by any means, for that is a more specialized approach. I’m thinking of a “free” mutually supportive environment of spiritually mature individuals who are dedicated to the welfare of their family, friends, community, society and world.

How can this be? Well seeing the answer to that requires deep consideration, commitment and discussion. There’s virtually nothing that I’ve given more consideration to in my life. I’ve observed, participated, both failed and succeeded. There’s not much point in discussing details and making specific suggestions here unless we can agree on the premise of this proposal.

I propose to suggest that if you believe this type of an Intentional Spiritual Community, Culture & Universal Fellowship has the potential to change your life then it deserves your sacred consideration. And if that is so, it is your sacred obligation to make it a reality in your life and in the lives of all whom you care for.

When you make it so, you will change the world to be a better place. Nothing will serve you better than to apply yourself to this consideration. When you do, contact me or other who may be of like mind; apply your effort and see it happen in your life.

I haven’t visited here in quite some time.
I’m back, more focused on what I’d like to suggest here.
I promise to add content, which I have on my zaadzblog & my book list.

My #1 goal is to connect with people who will network in the hope of forming actual,
real life intentional spiritual communities.
Because the Whole is greater then the sum of its part!

I’ll call out around the internet, to see where it goes.
It’s definitely going to go somewhere.
I’m searching and also looking at these sites;
Tribe.net
BeliefNet
Intentional Communities > ic.org

If you go to the Open Directory Project
You can find a great list of intentional communities.
None of which suit my own personal needs,
simply because of a vision for a universal fellowship,
which I’ve held for over 30 years.

The basic Idea I see here is to establish "a network of new age Universalist"; consisting of individual seekers who aren’t absolutely sold on a single one of the various spiritual paths available to them. And so you are willing to dedicate yoursef to envisioning a new model for spiritual seekers and community in which “one way” is never exalted above another.
“All ways” are reconciled.

This network could be world wide. When some level of consensus is reached and certain mass of energy is achieved then projects for community development can be proposed and embraced. The ultimate outline I can envision at this time would be for the creation of a broad network of small "Universalist intentional spiritual communities". The network would be strengthened by members traveling among communities sharing the best that each has to offer.

I know we can create a model for community, which will empower individuals to manifest their dreams while enabling others to do the same. You should deeply consider what you have to offer and to gain though participation in this network.

 The last years of western culture's second millennium were ripe with indication of modern humankind's potential for realizing the nature and value of Universalist ideals. Modern science has evolved to the point where science and spirituality may be seen as two galaxies, once separate, now merging, to someday create a new awareness of a singular reality. To even scratch the surface of new emerging paradigms requires unending discourse with countless implications.   

Here and now my intention is to rather briefly enshrine in your heart and mind an image of "Universalist Ageless Wisdom" which has been revealed for us though the lives and teachings of all true modern mystics. In the rarified field of highly spiritual adepts, the Universalist vision is a golden coin miraculously obtained by all the great souls of our time. Their many vessels sail the universal ocean of the infinite. Let us visit just a few of these sacred vessels.   

The great Avatars, Prophets, saints and sages of all traditions have embodied the Universalist tradition throughout the ages. The great ones never say they have a unique exclusive answer to life's mysteries, they rather say there is only one way to realize the nature of the spiritual reality. The way is by awakening to your true nature as a vessel of the unconditioned reality just as the great one's have awakened. Considering modern manifestations of Universalist ageless wisdom it becomes relatively easy to follow their line of descent throughout the historic ages beyond which lie the realms of speculation and metaphysical revelation.

Just as the present moment, with all its potentials and realizations has sprung from the previous moments of our lives, so to the current flourish of modern Universalist perception has risen from seed planted in the past. Because of this flow of continuity it's impossible to identify the beginning of Universalist traditions in that each tradition is a flowering of an eternal principle, for this reason I call these traditions Ageless Wisdom traditions in that they are founded on divine principles, which are both eminent and eternal.

Not only is this Universalist perception represented throughout ageless wisdom traditions it is also represented in different ways though many fields of endeavor such as religion, politics, science, business and social work. In order to pursue a focused reachable objective within my own area of interest this work is restricted to a consideration of certain modern streams of Universalist revelation. These streams seem to mingle and mix until, the more deeply one looks the more difficult it becomes to distinguish one from another.

Clearly all Universalist streams, are drawn by one sun, from one ocean, to which they all are bound to return. Some streams we can readily identify as being Taoist, Buddhist, Vedantic, Kabalistic, Hermetic or Gnostic. Yet all of these and even more primordial streams are interwoven one with another. During the last few hundred years there has been a modern unfolding of Universalist ageless wisdom traditions.

Exploring Universal Paths

Illuminating Ageless Wisdom

We can observe how many spiritual teachings have been promulgated throughout the ages and how many books have been written on these many teachings, all of them testaments of faith and understanding. Yet all these faiths and writings act as distractions from the path of truth, if one is not clearly focused on way and means of spiritual awakening.

Spiritual awakening occurs as a process of purification by which ones true nature becomes unveiled by dissolving our illusions of separateness from God. The sun of our divine nature rising in our vast sky of consciousness acts as a fire of awakening which dissolves the clouds of our delusive separateness. Thus we awaken to our eternal divine presence.

Can more religion and scholarly study advance the cause of spiritual awakening? It’s clear we don’t need another religion. Every new religion is just more of the same we have enough. The religions we have could be revitalized, but reforming individuals reaches more to the root of the matter. Reading books on spiritual topics may enlighten us about these topics, but will not awaken us to the divine presence within us here and now.

A Rosemont Way suggests a way to encourage spiritual awakening and a means of encouraging universal fellowship. A seeker of universal ageless wisdom may embrace a particular faith while respecting all wisdom blossoms. A Rosemont seeker is one who as a Universalist embracing the divine essence behind all faiths.

A Universalist may be a Christian, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, Jew or none of these. A Universalist may in practice embrace a particular faith, or by honoring the one in all may explore a deeply personal Rosemont path. A Universalist in each moment honors the oneness of all creation. A heart such as this will recognize that a robe of glory enwraps and sanctifies all sincere hearts; thus a universalist honors all paths leading toward the one good. 

There are many ecumenical movements, whose endeavors are to be admired. All loving heart may Journey on a Rosemont way, but embracing many various religions is not the essential intent of A Rosemont Journey. A Rosemont Journey is fully and lovingly embraced by openhearted souls seeking to serve the one in all; by celebrating an end of judgment and displaying a personal culture of Universal Fellowship.

A Rosemont Journey is our very personal journey of awakening to an expression of Universal love more akin to the way of awakened sages and mystics. A Universal Path is found in the essential teachings of all Mystics, Gnostics & Yogis.  A Rosemont explorer finds just one loving sweetness in all paths whether Christian mystic, Ishmaelian Sufi, Kashmiri Shaivite, Raja Yogi, Dhyani Buddhist or some other way. A Rosemont explorer surely respects each kernel of truth, but worships only it's everlasting sweetness. This is the heart essence of your very own way.
