Out of words. Continuous contemplation as the third way between religion and secular life on the examples of three contemporary contemplatives

The topic of presentation is life and teachings of three less known, but important, modern mystics: Russian Sufi Irina Tweedie (1907-1999), and two non-confessional mystics: Indian U.G. Krishnamurti (1918-2007), and Romanian Ilie Cioara (1916-2004). It shows that method of permanent, silent contemplation, being non-sectarian, is essence of spiritual life. It gives lively alternative for both religious and secular lives which divide people into different and for many reasons conflicting approaches. It shows that essence of spiritual life is what lies beyond words, in silence.Zakład Religioznawstwa i Filozofii Religii UwBAlmond P.C., Mystical Experience and Religious Doctrine: An Investigation of the Study of Mysticism in World Religions, Mouton Publishers, Berlin 1982Cioara I., I Am Boundlesness, O-Books, Winchester 2012Cioara I., Life is Eternal Newness, O-Books, Winchester 2012Cioara I., The Silence of the Mind, O-Books, Winchester 2011Cioara I., The Wondrous Journey: Into the Depth of Our Being, O-Books, Winchester 2012Forman S., Ilie Cioara – enlightened mystic, „Yogi Times”, http://www.yogitimes.com/article/iliecioara-enlightened-man-being-mystic-enlightement-romania (16.07.2015)Gurdjieff G.I., Life is real only then, when „I Am”, 1974, http://www.baytallaah.com/bookspdf/73.pdf (26.07.2015)Harding D., On Having No Head: Zen and the Re-Discovery of the Obvious, Arkana, London 1986Interview about The Silence of the Mind with translator Petrica Verdes, http://www.nondualitymagazine.org/nonduality_magazine.5.petrica_verdes (05.05.2013)Kapleau P., Trzy filary zen, Wydawnictwo Pusty Obłok, Warszawa 1988Maverick P.
