The University of Spirituality is a proponent of positive change
in a world that has largely forgotten its roots. We seek to
advance spirituality oriented education to enlighten and encourage
prospective students to learn what the basic fundamentals of
life experience are all about. Through a combination of prayer,
meditation, spiritually oriented exercises and a lengthy study
of the ‘self,’ memories are sparked and the spiritual
essence of the individual is slowly revealed and rediscovered.
The framework for this endeavor is already housed in the individual
soul. Our task is to help bring out what is already there.
Bringing about positive and peaceful change in the world
is a collaborative effort that occurs slowly one step at a
time with each individual. If you are interested in finding
a peaceful, heightened awareness within yourself. If you are
interested in better understanding the cycle of life. If you
are interested in having questions answered as to why you
are here, what is your genuine purpose and what really makes
you tick. If you are interested in engaging in a building
process that will take you far beyond what you think you know
about things. If these questions arose your curiosity, then
you have come to the right place. The University of Spirituality
does not have a degree program. It is an on-line resource
for information and guidance related to the many aspects of
spirituality. You might say it is a place to attend when other
options have been exhausted and you are searching for a new
philosophy to help stimulate thinking outside the box. It
is a place to retreat from the ever growing and seeming unwarranted
complexities of society. It is a place where you find simplicity
because you begin to know yourself more intimately.
When understood and applied in proper context, spirituality
is the most important quality that we all have. What’s
more important, it is a quality that you have. It’s
natural, free and activated by the simple desire to know and
discover mysteries about yourself that are hidden closer than
you could ever imagine. The discovery and nurturing of your
Individual Spirituality may, for all intents and purposes,
be the most profound discovery you ever make.
Spirituality, quite simply, is the newly discovered awareness
of an energy source within us and acting intuitively on that
source to enhance internal motivation and drive to succeed.
Existing character attributes mature, new attributes surface
and pipe dreams no longer remain in the realm of unrealized
possibilities. In this respect, spirituality is an art form
that is uniquely expressed by and through each individual
in a personal way. In short, spirituality helps us to be the
best that we can be.
If this is your first visit to the University of Spirituality
Web Site, please be aware of some pertinent information before
embarking on your exploration. Perceptual awareness is the
key ingredient in the process of spiritual enfoldment and
self-realization. Therefore, we’d like to plant a seed
of perception so that you have at least a general idea of
‘where you are’ when moving from one area to another
while exploring the inner halls of the University. There are
basically two main areas or ‘layers’ to the School.
The first layer consists of the familiarization classes which
you are attending now. The first layer also includes the homepage,
introduction and the University Preview (flowchart). The first
layer is considered just inside the University doors and is
designed help the seeker of higher learning decide whether
he or she would like to progress further based on the spiritual
concepts presented.
The second layer of the University of Spirituality begins
with the newcomers’ orientation located in the auditorium.
After attending the newcomers’ orientation and resonating
with the material presented, you are certainly free to penetrate
deeper into the University by attending the Hallway of Higher
Learning, The Chamber of Self-Reflection and the various other
departments and areas.
It is recommended that you visit the familiarization classroom
links in sequential order, from top to bottom, on the familiarization
menu prior to attending the newcomer orientation. Links to
the next class can be found at the bottom of each page after
you have completed reading it. Once again, the familiarization
classes will give you a taste of the subject material and
what the University of Spirituality is all about.
There are also links to all areas of the site incorporated
into the University Flow Chart exhibited on the Site Map Page.
These links are geared for people who are returning to the
site and have walked the hallways before. They are familiar
with the University and know exactly where they want to go.
The University of Spirituality is ‘new’ and since
the spiritual development process is one of a slow but steady
construction process, so is this site. Some of the areas are
under construction and still in the idea stage. Be patient
and manifestation will take place. In the meantime, please
enjoy what we have to offer thus far.
We’ve included artwork to accentuate the subject material.
Artwork is a most profound example of spiritual inspiration
and creative vision at its best. We’d also like to convey
the message that the classroom of learning need not be confined
to a room. Whatever you can envision and wherever you desire
to project yourself is an integral part of learning to tap
into the unchartered potential of the mind. In short, the
classroom of learning can be anywhere you so choose. Most
of the art renders can be clicked on to see a larger image.
Simply close the window when you are done to return to the
previous screen.
We have included a variety of inspirational quotes and song
lyrics throughout this site. These quotes and song lyrics
are from a variety of individuals from all walks of life and
demonstrate inspiration flows through everyone who is open
and mindful of receiving the gifts of Divine Mind. We also
wish to emphasize that it is of little importance who is being
quoted. What is important is that the quotes are ultimately
an example of Divine inspiration coming through to all who
are open.
Spiritually orientated knowledge can be as diverse as any
other type of knowledge. Concepts, ideas and opinions about
a given area of interest are rooted in the perception and
value of the author. The interpretation of the knowledge can
vary significantly from reader to reader which is what makes
us unique as individuals. The teachings presented here are
deeply entrenched in fundamental, universal principles that
apply and are essential to all seekers of spiritual truth.
There is a method and process by which a human can establish
his or her relationship with God. Our task is to help anchor
that method and expedite the process within the framework
of your existing perceptual reality. How you go about this
is completely up to you.
The writings on this site serve as an introduction for the
course entitled The Master Within-Building Our New Home Within
the House of God. The course is authored by Bodan, whom you'll
become more acquainted with shortly. The educational guidance
offered here is also comparable to the teachings offered in
the following texts:
A Course in Miracles
Autobiography of a Yogi
The Life & Teachings of the Masters of
the Far East
The Principle Upanishads
Vedic texts
The material taught herein is progressive. The more you read,
the deeper the material reaches. The more times you read it,
the deeper it gets. One reason for this is because presumably
you are engaging in homework along with reading. Homework
includes prayer, meditation and spiritually oriented exercises
that helps to open hidden cavities within you so that the
light and love of the Holy Spirit can illuminate the darkened
areas that have permeated those cavities for so long. After
awhile, it is not so much the reading, but the light and love
of the Holy Spirit confirming to you on a deep level of your
being things that you already know. For some of you the material
herein will perhaps be foreign territory. Foreign territory
has the tendency to become familiar territory when you approach
the matter with an open mind, receptive heart and simply allow
a new friendship to take place. Remember that you are embarking
on a project to construct your new home of spiritual dimension
and eventually create a new reality all your own. Existing
barriers remain standing only by a close minded and unwilling
approach to receive the glorious gifts that God has to offer
you. The choice is and always shall be yours.
