Guest guest Posted July 1, 1999 Report Share Posted July 1, 1999 Saw the additions. What a careful job of editing you have done! If we want to add/edit stuff there, can we? Also, I notice an error that was in my original posting. Could you change one or two words for me so that the sentence makes sense? Great job -- do many people read these confessors pages? Love, --Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just let me know what you want you changed or added. I 'm glad to do as you request. The 'nondual people' page gets 20 or 30 hits a day, since I recently put a counter there. For the website, I gather information in two contexts. One is demographic in which I collect the names and some of the works of people deemed 'nondual'. (Please, no letters on that one, folks.) That includes the 'famous', the not so famous, and the beginning confessors/realizers. It even includes dolphins, cats (soon to come!), fictional characters, so we have some fun with it, too. The other context is encyclopedic, in which nonduality is identified within fields of knowledge. That's a surface whose scratches can be seen here. We'll be featuring some exciting ones such as architecture and aikido. Christian Palocz, a graduate student under Robert Thurman, is setting up Nonduality and Western Philosophy, and perhaps I can con you, Greg, into contributing some material. Of course others are more than welcome to contribute. At this point it's up to someone else to 'do something' with the information on nondual people I'm gathering. There might be a very good research project waiting for someone who wants to delve into the demographics of nonduality. For example, we find that most of us are around the same age: 50. It seems that many of us have had some kind of strong childhood experience with spiritual 'force'. There seems to be a common inner drive to pursue nondual understanding; it is not something one enters into for primarily social reasons or for any reason other than 'having to'. Such are a few thoughts. I'm always open to suggestions and commentary. A third major portion of the website is the Nonduality FAQ, which is an on-going work in progress. I can't do it 'all', nor am I qualified to. However, there are people who contribute to certain portions of the website, and I'm grateful. ---Jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are several Westerners who either write on non-duality, or at least provide excellent ramp-ups to the non-dual perspective. Perhaps you can give me Christian Palocz's e-mail address or vice-versa. --Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spend very little time at websites, but Jerry's is a marvelous resource. My stepdaughter recently had an awakening and I was so grateful to have the address to give her.

Holly Thank you for that, Holly. And thanks to the people who suggest names for the list. Most of the names are recommended to me. My job is to see that the list is open-minded, rich, edgy, and always incomplete. ---Jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
