(Finding) New Gods
In the day-to-day grind of contemporary American living, there is no such thing as atheism. We all believe in something, whether those beliefs are rooted in religious or secular ideals.
That which we believe in determines that which we think about most - our personal objects of worship. Yet, the gods of coin, status, and achievement do not provide relief from our anxieties, the underlying sense that something is missing.
When the lights are off and the room is quiet, the gods of consumerism do not provide the peace and belonging we crave.
For centuries, in every time and every culture, mystics have pursued a more non-dual, spiritual path to find balance, purpose, and a joy in living. These men and women have left detailed maps on how to transform the mind and body.
Based on academic research and empirical testing, your modern journey into non-duality will be about arriving at your own truths through your own investigation.
Your path will be about deep connections - to yourself, others, and to a source greater than yourself - enabling you to more effectively overcome anxieties, neuroticism and addiction, brought about by the sense of feeling stuck and disconnected.
The results are surprisingly predictable, strikingly similar, and feel oddly familiar (as though returning home).
By connecting to that which is already within, you will experience the purpose and fulfillment you seek, and much more. You will find new gods, whatever that means to you. And the meaning should (and will) vary from person to person.
We will do it together, with a sense of humor, and we will do it with love.
