Welcome
James
James W. Stelzenmuller teaches that awakening—the end of suffering—is possible for anyone committed to finding Truth. Having awakened in 2002 after years of study, he began to express a spontaneous teaching whose form continues to evolve to this day.
Offerings
A Comprehensive Program
Some programs offer personal growth without awakening; some offer awakening without personal growth.
We offer a direct opportunity for awakening that includes an intensive process of personal growth.
Teachings
Spontaneous awakening is rare, and the path that leads to it is long and arduous. This random, self-guided path is the way of most people. Waiting for awakening to occur in this way is like wandering aimlessly on a desert planet, expecting to stumble upon a hidden diamond by accident. It’s not likely to happen. For this reason, it is ill-advised to leave your spiritual progress up to random events. It is much easier to embrace the true Teaching, the active form of Truth in the world that is reaching out to you, even now.

Book
The Path of Awakening is divided into ten chapters, each of which could be used as a path in itself or in combination with others. I have found that, for many people, it is most effective to start at the beginning and read all the way through.
