This Way is a contemporary spiritual path combining essential (in the sense of “the essence of a thing”) tenets of Buddhism and Christianity and the teachings of Gautama Buddha and Jesus Christ.

This Way is not a religion or an organized group; rather, it is a methodology that works, that can be practiced in our contemporary age, and that can deliver gnosis to the practitioner.

This Way is moving from the Kenomic Worldview– the worldview of Emptiness– to the Pleromic Worldview– the worldview of Fullness. Another way to say this is that the primary goal of a Way person is to reduce suffering, both for one’s self and for others, through self-knowledge and mindfulness. This can be achieved through the cultivation of gnosis.

Gnosis is a state of insight brought about by the application of living information and wisdom to an awakening experience. Or, to put it another way, Gnosis = Awakening (Word + Wisdom).

Gnosis is cultivated through contemplative practice and meditation, which delivers the experience of awakening. This awakening is then contextualized by cosmotheology and through one’s interactions with the World of Forms.
