the Tao Tan Pai (Taoist Elixer School) form of Taoist yoga in his late
teens. Since then he has been educated in science/engineering, raised a

earlier practice of Taoist yoga and meditation, deepening his
understanding of the principles of yin & yang, earth/man/heaven, five

the different forms of practice with others, learning and experiencing

John Conley -
Kirtan
I stole this biography from my book,
"Letters to My Friends: A No Guarantees Guide to Awakening." I was
raised in a small Oregon logging town where fighting, drinking, and God
were the main entertainment. I had my first introduction to fighting and
God in Sunday school. Drinking came later. Ever since those Sunday
school days, I have argued endlessly with myself about what God is. And
when I get tired of arguing with myself, I argue with God.
I had a somewhat nomadic life... throughout..., I meditated. And I
continued to argue with God. Now I, not God, think I have something
worthwhile to share about meditation, life, and how to be, if not happy,
less miserable. Do I? Maybe, maybe not, you be the judge. |

Edward Smith is a Gnostic priest here is Portland, Oregon. He
speaks of Gnosticism as the Ancient Tradition of Inner Knowing.
Whereas Judaism and Christianity, and
almost all pagan systems, hold that the soul attains its proper end by
faith and works, it is markedly peculiar to Gnosticism that it places
the salvation of the soul merely in the possession of a quasi-intuitive
knowledge of the mysteries of the universe and of magic formulae
indicative of that knowledge. |
