Introduction of new member: 'Non sum'

[Guest guest]

Namaste

 

The advaitin list welcomes 'non-sum'. Here is the

introduction:

 

Hello, and thank you for your kind consideration,

I consider myself an 'eclectic mystic,' and no more one

religion than any other. I am not a scholar of Vedanta or

eastern religion, but a life-long student of them.

'Advaita Vedanta' falls closest to my philosophical

understanding of what 'The Perennial Philosophy' is about

(i.e. "Brahman alone is, nothing else is"), yet no

'philosophy' can ever come close to describing the actual

experience of Self (Atman). The relevant incidentals

attendent to this 59 year old male jiva are an

undergraduate degree in philosophy, and criminal justice,

and a masters in gerontology. Several, more recent, years

of forum posting, and a sincere love of discussion and

spiritual topic.

May you select wisely,

Non Sum (Lat. "i am not")
