Dear Friend of Timeless Wisdom,

The value of abiding in nondual awareness is inestimable. Abiding as awareness is the most precious resource available to every human being and for humanity at large, especially as we negotiate our way through this critical phase of human history.  When consciousness rests in the nondual state nothing is missing; nothing or no one can threaten the imperturbability of awareness itself.  We are inseparable from all that is—dynamically engaged with everything that arises in the field of awareness and unconditionally complete at the same time.

Imagine, for a moment, that each person on the planet is able to find 10% more fulfillment internally, by connecting with pure awareness. The changes would reverberate through every sphere of life—the political, social, inter- and intra-personal.  Instead of destroying the planet and each other, we would move into an era of global healing, reconciliation, and profound appreciation of the value of life.

Timeless Wisdom is one of a handful of organizations at the epi-center of the cross-cultural adaptation of traditional forms of nondual spirituality to our modern lifestyle.  We are at a growing edge of this accelerating movement of exploring new forms and technologies for revealing and sharing contentless awareness, making our work more relevant and accessible day-by-day.

Our mission is to make the precious resource of awareness more and more accessible to the public—professional communities, organizations and leaders—through skillfully designed courses, retreats, professional trainings, and support services.  Our activities are all designed to direct people to the space of unconditioned awareness as a way of transcending suffering and embracing an unknown future free of fragile hopes and deep-seated fears.

The work we do in Timeless Wisdom is based on a generosity of spirit and gratitude that acknowledges how truly remarkable it is to discover the pinnacle of conscious evolution, let alone have the circumstances and opportunities to deepen and expand our access to this space.  We invite you to join in supporting this wave of nondual liberating wisdom that is now washing the Western world.  Our function is to share this wisdom in forms that are globally accessible and to teach others to share the “ultimate medicine” of nondual freedom to increasing numbers of people throughout the world.

Timeless Wisdom was incorporated 10 years ago as a Californian non-profit corporation registered as an independent Buddhist church.  It is an outgrowth of 38 years of Peter Fenner’s involvement in nondual spirituality.  Since 1971, Peter has expanded the scope of his teaching beyond Australia to include North America, Europe, India and Israel.  Since the introduction of the 9 month Radiant Mind Course in 2003, Timeless Wisdom has grown beyond a one person operation into a expanding team that includes a Board of Directors, Donors, a Business Manager, Administrative Support Staff, Teachers, Advisors, Translators, Teachers-in-Training, Coaches, Organizers, and many, many students who offer their wisdom, time, services and resources on a purely voluntary basis.  Our growth is now accelerating further with the introduction of the 10 month Nondual Teacher and Therapist Training Course.

We have established a fund to support the ongoing evolution and dissemination of Radiant Mind and Nondual Teacher Trainings over the coming years. The Fund has been established specifically to support (1) scholarships, development initiatives and program growth, and grow an endowment fund to serve our activities into the future.  The following are some of our new development initiatives which we inviting you to participate in:

RADIANT MIND LIVE VIDEO COURSE

In 2011 we plan to offer a distance learning Radiant Mind Course that is tightly integrated with an on-site Course. This is a high priority project as it makes Timeless Wisdom courses more accessible and affordable.  We are creating places for individuals and regional groups (pods) to fully participate in a Radiant Mind Course through remote attendance at the workshops using two-way video conferencing. Remote participants will receive live video feeds of the on-site workshop and be able to interact in real-time dialogue with Peter, other teachers and participants. Images of remote participants will visible onscreen at the in-site venue.  We are designing systems, and renting and/or purchasing the necessary technology, so that people can participate in Radiant Mind workshops without traveling to a land-based venue. There are significant expenses in equipment purchases, technical training, and in the installation and management of a virtual course during transmissions.

INTRODUCING A YOUNGER GENERATION TO NONDUAL AWARENESS

Knowing that our children and grandchildren are creating the future, we are extending the reach of our programs and activities to include a younger generation of participants.  We are exploring ways in which in which nondualism can penetrate spaces that are saturated with information through innovative uses of social networking technologies such as Facebook and LinkedIn, and are mounting efforts with reciprocal blogging and newsletters, as well as Podcasting.  We plan that these technologies will allow us to bring nondual awareness to a younger generation using the technologies that mediate their daily interaction.

TRANSCRIBING, EDITING AND PUBLISHING TEACHINGS AND DIALOGUES

We have thousands of hours of high quality audio material captured from courses, teleconferences and workshops.  The “highlights” of this material needs to be transcribed and run through a preliminary edit in preparation for Peter to bring it into publishable form.

We need your support to continue and expand this work.  Please join us in sustaining the Transmission of Timeless Wisdom so needed in our world at this time.  Each of us have been engaged with the Radiant Mind teachings for several years and are committed to bringing this work to wider audiences, especially to the upcoming generations.  As we said at the beginning, we feel that abiding as non-dual awareness is an inestimable resource for navigating the turbulent waters of our times.

Please feel free to earmark your donations for any of the specific projects above or for much-needed general support.  And we would especially appreciate ongoing donations made monthly or annually.  All donations to Timeless Wisdom are tax deductible.

We are happy to respond to anyone in person who would like to know more about our activities and who may be interested in supporting our work.

With great appreciation for all that you are and do.

Thank you.
