No Age Ontology - Max Corradi

The aspect of Timeless Oneness must be recognized and realized by each ‘individual consciousness’. The individual consciousness which is the radiant clarity of Timeless Being, must recognize its own Timeless Source and this is always an individual direct recognition and realization, never a group experience or a mass experience. What is overcome within total Awakening is not individuality but self...

The ongoing experience of self-identity usually seems quite real and ‘solid’ for most sentient beings however, upon thorough investigation using different methods of meditative enquiry it becomes quite obvious that it is only an illusion created by the combination of the quality of clarity of the mind and the subtle energy that drives the movement of thoughts. Thought movement can be quite coarse...

Creation is Timeless but the individual experience of a ‘portion of creation’ can manifests within time and space. Just like the objects reflected on a mirror’s surface are contained evenly on its surface, all of Mind’s manifestations are in their true nature completely beyond the measure of time and space but nevertheless appear in the Timeless Expanse of the Pure Now of Mind as illusory events w...

Just like a mirror needs a reflection appearing on its surface in order to fulfill its function, the Mind of Pure Being manifests an infinite variety of self-appearances, which, if unrecognized as self-appearances, grow into confusion and suffering, in order to fulfill its capacity of unobstructed potentiality which is naturally inherent in its nature. These appearances, in their turn, might or mi...

A very important distinction should be made between the categories of Awakened Deities, gods and the Timeless Mind of Pure Being. Awakened Deities which can appear within time and space in the perception of sentient beings predisposed to such a visionary communication, are simply the spontaneous manifestation in perceivable form of the Timeless Ground of Pure Being. Such Deities, like holograms, d...

The Mind of Pure Being is the source of all phenomena and perceived Reality, it is the potentiality of all events, meanings and circumstances and it is beyond all dualistic apprehensions of subjects and objects, time and distance. Timeless Mind is at the same time immanent and transcendent of phenomena, it is an all pervading lucid and mirror-like Awareness contained in and containing all the phen...

In another school of the Mahayana Buddhist tradition we find a particular doctrine called ‘Mind Only’ (Chittamatra) or ‘The Doctrine of Consciousness’ (Vijnanavada). The ‘Mind Only’ tenet system asserts that there are no such things as external phenomena. According to the Buddhist ‘Doctrine of Consciousness’, which is founded upon the Buddha’s statement: “All three worlds are Mind only" and it is...

In one of the two main doctrines of the Buddhist Mahayana tradition, the Madhyamaka school, we often find the term ‘Emptiness’ or ‘Sunyata’ to refer to the state of the Absolute Truth of Reality, as opposed to a conventional truth of what appear to exist to the senses and the mind ‘s consciousness. Although ‘Emptiness’ is a state beyond concepts and the ultimate Truth of Reality, this by no means...

In the fundamental Buddhist teachings taught by the Buddha, the state of ‘Nibbana’ (or Nirvana in Sanskrit) is described as an unconditioned state which means not produced by causes and conditions. The path comprising different meditation practices leading to Awakening to Nibbana doesn't cause ‘Nibbana’ but simply leads one to the discovery or Awakening of such a state, just like a road to a mount...

Advaita Vedanta is a prominent ontological school within Hinduism which emphasize the non-dual nature of Reality and the ultimate unity of the individual with Reality which it calls ‘Brahman’. In the Advaita tradition the term ‘Moksha’ or Liberation from suffering and rebirth is attained through recognizing the illusoriness of the phenomenal world, the body-mind complex and the notion of ‘identity...

In the book of Exodus God’s name is revealed to Moses as ‘I am that I am’ which can also be rendered as ‘the One who is’. Since it is always in a state of Timeless Being beyond all dualities of birth and death many spiritual teachings use the term ‘I am’, and because it is without identity no real name is given other than ‘that I am’. The ‘I am that I am’ can be considered an abstraction of the Mi...

The meaning of the metaphysical Hermetic aphorism ‘All is Mind and Mind is All’ is that the Universe is Timeless Mind, the Universe is the effulgence of Pure Being as a self-perception. If All is a manifestation of one’s nature of Pure Being, all forms, energy, motion and power are manifestations of vital‑mental action and consequently there is no force but vital‑mental force, no energy but vital‑...

The Arcane tradition has come down to the present age through the corridors of time from past eras and ancient civilizations. Arcane schools were founded on hermetic instruction still more remote, received in a direct line of succession of teachers and students extending over time. The Arcane Teachings hold that the Universe is regulated by the seven Laws which are integrated in and by the Absolut...

Timeless Reality refers to the ontological discovery that time is an illusion and that all moments in time exist simultaneously as a potentiality in Timeless Mind’s self-perception which, although not within the limitations of singular and plural, nor of self-identity, is nevertheless infinitely individualized. This perspective challenges the traditional concepts of time as a true linear, forward-...

All the most profound Wisdom teachings point out that everything, from the whole material universe, its energy, the phenomena of life and all the different kinds of living beings contained therein are nothing other than Timeless Mind’s self-perceptions, the self-experience of Timeless Pure Being. According to the Wisdom traditions, Reality is a non-duality which in essence is a state of Pure Timel...

No Age Ontology is a compendium of ancient spiritual, ontological Wisdom teachings which aim to guide the individual towards total Liberation from the bondage of time. No Age Ontology rejects the notion of a fixed, essential nature of phenomena and living beings based on permanent identities and recognizes that an entity’s identity is shaped by a complex interplay of factors, including cultural an...

By creative imagination is meant the positive phase of Mind ‘s creative faculty, such as what is manifested in the creation of fine literature, art, music, philosophical theory, scientific hypothesis, and so on. On the other hand, by fancy daydreaming is meant the negative phase of the manifestation of the image creating faculty of mind, such as the arbitrary and capricious imaginings and fantasie...

The power of manifestation through mental imaging or creative visualization employs the three essential aspects of the play of Reality: The potential, the ideal and the concrete. The potential is Pure Being itself, Mind not particularized in any way, not yet brought into form nor thought. The ideal is the particularizing of the potential into a certain formulated archetypal form through mental ima...

‘The method of prayer’ is one of the most powerful and skillful method, especially when nothing else works. One must understand that the Absolute does not change the ‘modus operandi’ of the Universe in order to comply with one’s requests, nor does it make exception, but it does act through well defined laws, and these laws can be placed into operation, consciously or unconsciously, by accident or...

“The All is Mind; The Universe is Mental.” The Kybalion A general definition of meditation would be ‘to bring to a center’. Meditation or concentration is the undisturbed power of subjective attention over an object of consciousness; therefore meditation is the domain and the best of mind’s tools. There are many possible methods to develop meditation and presence of mind, and they all achieve the...

“The All is Mind; The Universe is Mental.” The Kybalion The first Hermetic Principle says that everything, from the whole material universe, its energy, the phenomena of life and all the different living beings contained therein are nothing other than Mind’s self–perceptions, an adornment of Pure Being. This is an infinite timeless energy, ‘mentative’ in its nature, out of and in which all things...

In...

“Everything flows, out and in; everything has its tides; all things rise and fall; the pendulum-swing manifests in everything; the measure of the swing to the right is the measure of the swing to the left; rhythm compensates.” The Kybalion This Principle embodies the truth that everything in the physical, mental and spiritual plane expresses itself in rhythm from action to reaction, from activity...
