Correction : 2's Converging...

[Guest guest]

Chris & Friends,

 

I was so annoyed at being unable to find anything on my "mystery

teacher", that I went back to MSN to check on my old listings

and "favorites".

 

The name Phil Servedio mysteriously beckoned, so I punched it up and

was soon confronted with the story I previously assigned to

Adyashanti. So, first My apologies to Adyashanti. He didn't retract

or stop printing his "enlightenment story" on his website, because it

was never there. Ironic comments about successful teachers narrowing

their focus and not acknowledging their own teachers is, in his case,

inappropriate, and I hope I haven't mislead anybody.

 

Phil Servedio's website is: www. heartspace.com and includes the

whole "enlightenment story" I had previously attributed to Adyashanti.

The teacher who's name escaped my memory was Arjuna Nick Ardagh and

his website is livingessence.com.

 

Phil tells of how he came to hire "Arjuna" and generously includes a

link to his (Arjuna's) site. After you punch up his Phil's site, look

to his "Journal of Awakening". His encounter with Arjuna is set up in

the "Early 1995" chapter, and actually begins as "Sat.Mar.18".

 

Finally, Chris (still there?), I want to make clear that I have no

direct knowledge or contact with either of these gentlemen, and am

not recommending either of them, although I feel that Phil deserves

plaudits for the direct and honest way that he tells his story.

you'll have to read it for yourself and make up your own mind. I was

just struck by the directness and sort of confrontational radiance of

Arjuna's style, and something about Phil & Arjuna's encounter made me

think you might find it useful as well.

 

Oh, yes, Arjuna is apparently an Englishman who travels and teaches

in Europe, as well as America, so he may not be as remote from you as

you would think.

 

In any case, Good Luck.

yours in the bonds,

eric
