Ongoing: Tuesday nights, 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.

No fees or "suggested donations"—Truth is free.

(Meets in a private home in the San Roque area of Santa Barbara, California. Call Timothy at 805-564-2125 or email: t.conway1@cox.net for directions and schedule [we do not meet when Timothy is out of town].)

God or Spirit alone is Real. We abide freely in this boundless Awareness and Aliveness, letting the bodymind be spontaneously active in a dreamlike world (serving and loving all).

So join us for time in our real nature as nondual Awareness-Love, the One Who is right Here as formless Vastness, the One we see shining in the eyes/hearts of all beings.

Program: Our time together is for intuitively realizing true Identity in Spirit for the sake of being truly free, happy, and compassionate. Evenings include healing peace med­itations to open and close, presentations by Timothy (and occasional guest speakers), Q&A, deep spiritual discussion, “heart humor,” readings from the sages, joyous/soulful singing, and spontan­eous truth-sharing from any­one present.

Timothy Conway (“a figure in the dream, pointing to the Divine Dreamer”) has studied and practiced the nondual essence of our sacred tradi­tions for over 30 years. He has met many enlightened masters, esp­ec­i­ally in Advaita Vedanta (Sri Nisarga­datta Maharaj, Sri Ramana Maharshi’s immediate followers, and others) and various lines of Buddhism, as well as spiritual adepts in Taoism, Sufism and mystic Christianity and Judaism. Timothy has freely shared the “pathless path” of deep spirituality for over 25 years.

"Be utterly awake, HERE and NOW, in the glorious God-Self that always already IS. Stand prior to all arising ego-strategies of seeking, desire, fear, and all binding identifica­tions with 'I am this' or 'I am that.' This is authentic freedom. See this Self as the very heart of everyone perceived. This is the beginning of auth­en­tic love." --Timothy

The beloved, eminent sage Sri Ramana Maharshi (1879-1950) has so beautifully and simply taught the highest truth: "Why does someone suffer? Because one imagines oneself other than what one in reality is, e.g., the body, this, that, and the other. ... In reality one is the intelligent 'I AM' alone, stripped of qualities and superimpositions, of names and forms.... The wise one simply is. 'I Am That I Am' sums up the whole truth. The method is summed up by 'Be still and know that I am God.'"

The renowned sage Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj (1896-1981), in a very early written work, Self Knowledge and Self Realization, published in 1963, stated: "The ever-awaited first moment was the moment when I was convinced that I was not an individual at all. The idea of my individuality had set me burning so far. The scalding pain was beyond my capacity to endure; but there is not even a trace of it now, I am no more an individual. There is nothing to limit my being now. The ever present anxiety and the gloom have vanished and now I am all beatitude, pure knowledge, pure consciousness.... I am ever free now. I am all bliss, sans spite, sans fear. This beatific conscious form of mine now knows no bounds. I belong to all and everyone is mine. The 'all' are but my own individuations, and these together go to make up my beatific being.... Bliss reclines on the bed of bliss. The repose itself has turned into bliss.... All the characteristics of the Saint naturally spring from his experience [as the nondual Self of all]. As there are no desires left in him, nothing in the world of sense can ever tempt him, he lives in the fearless majesty of Self-realization. He is moved to compassion by the unsuccessful struggle of those tied down to bodily identity and their striving for the satisfaction of their petty interests.... The Saint who has direct experience of all this is always happy and free from desire. He is convinced that the greatest of the sense experiences is only a momentary affair, impermanence is the very essence of these experiences; hence pain and sorrow, greed and temptation, fear and anxiety can never touch him...."
