Originating on GeoCities in 1996- then acquired by Yahoo who closed down hosting Oct. 28, 2009 – the Maya-Gaia web pages have all happily relocated to Angelfire HostingNote: The Maya-Gaia website is a chronicle of my passing all considered opinion
through the lens of my Nirvikalpa Samadhi with both an open-mind and healthy skepticism.

The Maya-Gaia website (begun in 1996 at GeoCities) is a chronicle of my efforts to integrate a spontaneous transcendent experience which I had back in 1970. At the time, I was almost completely naive regarding philosophy, religion, metaphysics or mystical, spiritual, or paranormal phenomena of any kind but the experience started my search for explanation that is still ongoing. My journey can best be shared by those with critical thinking temperaments that balance a healthy skepticism with an open mind as my itinerary through the various disciplines of religion, metaphysics, and science is an intellectual minefield of controversy, contradiction and fantasy. Starting my journey as an agnostic, I easily ignored the dogmas of the prophetic religions but discovered my major challenge was in applying this balanced approach to the reductionist, materialist, scientific viewpoint and that of open-ended, new-age spiritualism. Fortunately a synthesis is evolving from new physics, quantum consciousness and metaphysical concepts derived from the nondual traditions and the revelation from my own experience that suggests a deist, rational-based meta paradigm for the nature of reality. In 2001, I created a website- Cosmic Consciousness exploring this topic. The original Maya Gaia pages present what insights my transcendent experience inspired and in subsequent content added since 2006- tentative concepts about its reality as an ultimate Nirvikalpa Samadhi– based on both historical Vedantic, Buddhist and Tao sources and the accelerating expansion of the universe of information on the internet from which I’ve selected resources to serve as my personal library. I’ve presented links to many of the arguments and resources that challenged me to choose pro, con and maybe- for compiling a model of reality that seems most plausible to me at the moment, so the reader can make up their own mind regarding various issues. A caveat in regards to whatever brilliant insights appear in my pages is that they are derivative from more advanced intellect of others- and simply passed thru the lens-of-verity of my Nirvikalpa Samadhi.
Bringing a Transcendent Revelation Into a Gaia Perspective
Gaia Manifest of Transcendent Immanence My major mission has become to try to bring my revelations into the context of a Brahman/Gaian Paradigm as my Nirvikalpa Samadhi experience triggered a slow metamorphous that has evolved over the past thirty-five years, to finally making the Gaian ethos my imperative. I am totally dedicated to supporting Gaia- conceived not as an anthropomorphic goddess but as the totality of nature- life, matter and cosmic energy as immanent manifest of a transcendent cosmic consciousness.A Flash Slideshow Evoking the Awe of Evolution-Creation

Our mindfulness meditation as we follow the water’s voice transforms to a state of mindlessness/no thought/no cognition replicating our state of consciousness as embryos in our mother’s womb when our sentient awareness consisted wholly of her heart rhythm.

Mystical Experience– A reprint of booklet published in 1972, documenting a spontaneous transcendent episode which I experienced two years earlier. It presents an anecdotal account of what I later learned is commonly associated with a Neo Tantra yoga scenario where sexual union culminated (for me but not my partner) in a supreme transcendence- a Nirvikalpa Samadhi. In my case however the event occurred in an environment devoid of any religious symbolism, belief or significance as we were an agnostic couple in a significant relationship and simply intent on “making love”.
Samadhi Animated Flash An animated Flash portrayal of the moment in my samadhi journey when the energy stream transported me (still in a state of conscious duality) far beyond the gatekeeper and I seemed arrived in limbo. Suddenly, a blazing pure-white light – brighter than a welders arc – appeared at my feet and began a steady course up my body – annihilating my substance.
Samadhi Return Animated Gif An animated gif of a slow-mo portrayal of the moment in returning from my nirvikalpa non-dual episode (now back in a state of conscious duality) when the energy stream injected me into a funnel opening to an astral cord connected to the top of the head of a disassociated body – some 30 or so feet below.

Conscious Survival Links to Opinions Regarding Consciousness Survival and Near Death Experience. Is there a rational argument to support belief in a Nondual Conscious Immortality? Who are the KNOWERS of ultimate non duality and DEATH? Is every occult and paranormal experience or NDE an insight to some aspect of the realm of the unseen and unknowable or are the ultimate episodes of Samadhi, Satori, Moksha, Gnosis the only clear experience of a cosmic consciousness?
Climate Change and the Population Bomb The current maturation of the existential threat to all life on Earth by man-caused climate change and overpopulation is a grim reality that present and future generations will increasingly suffer.

Even in the unlikely event of a spontaneous global awakening arising in the next few years to try to stop the effects – the inertia of Earth is like the Titanic trying to steer clear of the iceberg.

Credibility of Siddhis An examination of siddhis– the supernatural powers allegedly manifested by legendary Arhats, mahasattvas and Tathagata and claimed to various degree by some of the most revered rishis as well as certain modern day yogin and gurus and the relation to shamanism and hallucinogenic drugs.

Credibility of Transcendence Revelations- References Links to resources relating to credibility of transcendent episodes, NDEs and samadhi.
Credibility Yoga Is skepticism warranted that Hindu yoga and Buddhist dhyana meditation can result in realization anywhere comparable to a transcendently orchestrated experience of Nirvikalpa Samadhi or is their value solely in their potential to provide insight in the integration of such an episode should it incidentally occur through grace?
Dark Energy Chronicles Are there any cosmological metaphors in Upanishads or other bodies of sacred Vedic or non dual texts or in the phenomenological or ontology of contemporary philosophers for integrating theories of dark energy that suggest a science/spirituality synthesis?

Do-It-Yourself Tantra Attaining a transcendent experience via a Neo Tantric regimen (or tantra for Dummies)- spontaneity may be a key.
Dual Nondual Model Concurrent, Two-Tier, Dual-Nondual, 200 Percent; heuristic metaphysical Model of Reality that manifests a living relationship in duality with God within Advaita’s ultimate nondual state of Brahman and Buddhism’s Void. I had every expectation that the result would be something that conformed to a particular non dual school. Instead, I had to borrow principles and concepts from traditions that have fundamental disagreements to which I’ve added my own contradictions to all. My “model” is only a crude outline of the supreme numinous of conscious/reality and should be perceived as a holographic conceptual space wherein the states of consciousness and transcendent and immanent tiers interfere concurrently to create a blurred pattern of blended possibilities for an outline of a Brahman/Gaia Paradigm.

The Godhead Experience Experiencing the Godhead-Brahman-Atman-Cosmic Consciousness Singularity. In a skeptical yet open-minded overview of the Perennial Wisdom traditions of Advaita Vedanta, Kashmir Saivism, Zen Buddhism, Vajrayana Buddhism, and contemplative Taoism (the main five sacred traditions that have engendered the rise of nonduality in the West)- a single metaphysical concept survives all doubt. That it is possible for our living consciousness to experience the supreme Godhead-Atman-Brahman-Bodhi singularity in a brief episode of non-dual transcendent consciousness- after which the knower returns to mundane life.
Guru Bad Behavior There are many contemporary and some historic accounts of behavior by both anointed and self-proclaimed enlightened ones that seem inconsistent with that prescribed in classical Vedic and Buddhist Dharma.
