Christian Nondualism
Philosophy should help us to live–not only in our pragmatic, routine life, but in the fullness of our reality, both within and beyond time.
Christian Nondualism is a mysticism that does not try to escape from the world. Instead it seeks to fully experience the world, in both a theoretical and a non-theoretical way, from out of our nondual center, or heart, as it has been redeemed in Christ.
Both western and eastern nondual traditions are relevant. I have been helped by the Dutch philosopher Herman Dooyeweerd. I include translations and a meditative study guide of some of his philosophy. I have also been helped by the French Benedictine monk Henri Le Saux (Abhishiktananda). I have included a copy of my doctoral thesis on his life of Hindu-Christian dialogue.
