Seekers of Truth traverse the universes of philosophies, religions, and spiritualities to find that which their soul and spirit jump at, grabs hold and wont let go. Always the question comes up, “What is different about this, that made my ancient soul so happy to rediscover it?” This book explains the teachings unique, and exclusive to teachings of theWAY.
In the vast tapestry of spiritual traditions, Wayism emerges not only as the very warp and woof of the loom, but its golden shimmering threads weave the original, the quintessential, perennial, tapestry of personal life philosophy and the spirituality which is imbedded in it. Others would embroider upon the ancient frame for their own purposes and religious designs.
The essence of the tapestry of theWAY was woven through the ages, in the ever-changing idioms and cultural idiosyncrasies, its wisdom whispered in the hearts of seekers across time and space.
This book, a humble offering, seeks to distill the core teachings of the nature of being, the purpose of life, the meaning of life, The Absolute, and the Source.
This book about our most ancient Path offers a glimpse into the profound insights and transformative practices that have guided countless souls on their journey of awakening.
Like the delicate flower of Ajna-mind, the book unfolds for two purposes, each petal revealing a layer of wisdom and understanding. The first purpose invites you to step into the uniqueness of garden of Wayism, to immerse yourself in the essential teachings that form the foundation of this wondrous path, teachings that are unlike any other. It is a map, a compass, guiding you to the heart of what it means to be a person of theWAY, to walk in alignment with the eternal truths that underpin this tradition.
But this purpose is more than a mere introduction; it is a mirror, reflecting back to you the essence of your own being. As you explore these teachings, you may find yourself nodding in recognition, a deep sense of resonance stirring within your ancient soul.
For the path of Wayism is not a distant, abstract concept, but a living, breathing reality, woven into the very fabric of your existence. You have crossed its path before; you are an ancient soul and would not be reading this if you weren’t. And each time, you embrace more, and appreciate more of the inner teachings. It is again presented to you by your Divine Guide and your karma.
The ‘second’ purpose, like a chamber hidden from souls clothed in arrogance, reveals the unique inner treasures of Wayism, the precious gems of mystical wisdom that set this path apart from all others. Much of it unspoken, unwritten, because it reflects in the sacred chambers of your higher-self minds where it is distilled to form wisdom, your own deeper understanding of the purpose of life, and your path.
Here, in your inner chambers of developing spirit-minds, you will encounter philosophical and spiritual teachings that have no parallel in other traditions, insights that have been carefully guarded and passed down through the lineages of Wayist masters.
These teachings, like sacred seeds, have the power to transform your entire being, to awaken within you a depth of understanding and realization that you may have never thought possible. They are the keys to unlocking the mysteries of your own spiritual awareness and awakening, to discovering the radiant truth of your own divine nature.
The teaching on paper are the seeds and material which your spirit-minds will distill to extract that wisdom for which you are now ready, and your entire being will drink of that divine nectar. It will change you.
As the poem of Rumi says:
“O heart, drink the wine of the spirit and sleep safe and free. When I cut off sorrow’s head, I freed myself from pain and grief. My heart ascended; my body descended. Where does that leave me? Neither up nor down.”
To make the most of the teachings of theWAY, keep an open mind and be critical in your thinking. Question; don’t accept anything simply because it’s in the teaching. Ponder it, drink it into your wisdom-self and let it brew. And when you do, as you should, you will either see the wisdom unfold for you, or put the book down and find something that appeals to your philosophical sensibilities and preferred explanations of reality.
Should you continue, however, you will become aware of how your higher-self minds remember, recall, and connect the dots between all religions and theories, and in the end, those lines of connected dots form a sacred metaphysical form, upon which all your newly acquired wisdom is built–and then, you own it. You made the wisdom; you made it your own.
However, it is crucial to bear in mind that this compact book, although immensely insightful, is merely a fragment in the expansive sea of Wayist knowledge. But not so much of it is written. Think of our texts as distillations, extracting the core teachings and concentrating them, yet acknowledging that it is not the complete body of teaching. The complete teaching, you receive deep inside, in your metaphysical self. Truly, you could dedicate a lifetime to rereading the same few texts, and with each repetition, your comprehension will blossom like layers upon layers, growing richer as you age and contemplate the very same lines of text.
But herein lies the beauty of this path: you need not be a scholar, a master of esoteric texts, to walk in alignment with its truths. Armed with nothing more than the teachings contained within these pages, you can embark on a journey of profound transformation, of deep spiritual awakening, and it will be sufficient to attain Heaven.
For the essence of Wayism is not found in the accumulation of knowledge, knowledge comes to naught when the organic brain sicks and dies. But in the direct experience of existential truth in everyday life experiences. It is a path of the heart mind, a path of embodiment, a practical path we walk day and night simply by being in the human state. A path where the teachings come alive in every moment of your existence.
Whether you are a mystic, a seeker, or simply a human yearning for a deeper understanding of your place in the universe, Wayism offers a doorway, an invitation to step into the light of your own, becoming.
So let this book be your guide, your companion, as you navigate the winding path of your own spiritual journey. Let its words be like a soft rain, gently washing away the veils of illusion, revealing the pristine beauty of your own true nature. And know that, no matter where you are on your path, the wisdom of Wayism is always within reach, always ready to support and guide you on your way.
For in the end, the path of Wayism is the path of coming home, of awakening to the truth of who you are. It is a journey of love, of courage, of surrender, and of ultimate liberation. May these teachings be a beacon, illuminating your way, and may they lead you ever deeper into the heart of your own divine essence.
