Timothy Conway is who I want to be. He is a scholar of religion and theology as well as a deeply experiential mystic for over five decades. He sat with Nisargadatta and he has a Masters and PhD in Psychology from the California Institute of Integral Studies. He wrote one of my favorite books of all time Women of Power And Grace. Listen to his bio.

“Timothy Conway (“a figure in the dream, pointing to the Divine Dreamer”) has studied and practiced the nondual essence of our sacred tradi­tions since the early 1970s. He has met many enlightened masters, esp­ec­i­ally in Advaita Vedanta (Sri Nisarga­datta Maharaj, Sri Ramana Maharshi’s immediate followers, and others) and various lines of Buddhism, as well as spiritual adepts in Daoism, Sufism and mystic Christianity and Judaism. Timothy has freely shared the “pathless path” of deep spirituality since the late 1980s.”

We cover a lot of ground, and he literally starts the conversation by dismissing his academic accomplishments.. on his site his education section begins with “much ado about nothing”...

In this episode we cover:
-Going Beyond Words
-Paradoxical phrasing that is both affirmative and negating
-The ethics of veganism (ahimsa)
-Your "ego-ji" is quite the instrument!
-Defying Anatta
-The challenge of catching a moment
-Being in love with all sentient beings because the Divine Nature is Love
-The harmony between instant enlightenment and gradual awakening
