Temple of Authentic Divinity

A place to support the unfolding of consciousness, the remembrance of your true nature, and the embodiment of authentic divinity.

Purpose

The Temple exists to support the growth of consciousness.

One of the most profound expressions of this growth is a full release. Different spiritual traditions refer to this experience as awakening, samadhi, nirvana, the void, or liberation. It is a direct release from the contraction of egoic separation and an immediate knowing of the infinite.

The Temple is oriented toward those who have an established spiritual practice and a sincere intention to discover what lies beyond the ego’s illusions — to experience their true essence or divinity. The offerings here are designed to support and deepen your ongoing path.

The work is aligned with Kashmiri Shaivism, an advaitic non-dual tradition that recognizes every moment and every experience as a manifestation of the divine. This orientation overlaps with transpersonal psychology and includes certain unorthodox practices intended to accelerate insight and embodiment.

Spiritual Cross-Training

While it is valuable to have a primary mindfulness or contemplative practice, it can be supportive to supplement that foundation with additional approaches. Different practices cultivate different capacities — emotional openness, somatic awareness, energetic sensitivity, psychological integration, or direct insight.

When skillfully combined, complementary practices can support a more efficient and holistic unfolding.

Healing and Expansion

Most practices offer elements of both healing and expansion. Still, it is helpful to clarify which is the primary intention, as this shapes the appropriate environment and level of support.

Healing emphasizes safety, grounding, and clear boundaries.
Expansion emphasizes moving beyond previous limits and requires greater inner resourcing.

Both are essential phases of the path. Understanding the difference helps each practice serve you more effectively.
