About Maya Gaia
The Maya Gaia website (begun in 1997) is a chronicle of my efforts to integrate a spontaneous transcendent experience which I had back in 1970. At the time, I was almost completely naive regarding the metaphysics of mystical, spiritual, or paranormal phenomena of any kind but the experience started my search for explanation that is still ongoing. My journey can best be shared by those with critical thinking temperaments that balance a healthy skepticism with an open mind as my itinerary through the disciplines of religion, metaphysics, and science is an intellectual minefield of controversy, contradiction and fantasy. Starting my journey as an agnostic, I easily ignored the dogmas in the prophetic religions but discovered my major challenge was in applying this enlightend approach to the reductionist, materialist, scientific viewpoint and that of open-ended, new-age spiritualism. Fortunately a synthesis is evolving from new physics, quantum consciousness and metaphysical concepts derived from the non-dual traditions that suggests a deist meta paradigm for the nature of reality derived from a rational appraisal of my revelation. In 2001 I created a website- Cosmic Consciousness exploring this topic. The original Maya Gaia pages present what insights my transcendent experience inspired and in subsequent content added since 2006- tentative concepts about its reality as an ultimate Nirvikalpa Samadhi- based on both historical Vedantic, Buddhist, Tao and other sources and the accelerating expansion of the universe of information on the internet from which I've selected resources to serve as my personal library. The hope is that I'll actually get time to read everything in this growing compendium and at the same time keep it updated. I've presented links to many of the arguments and resources that challenged me to choose pro, con and maybe- for compiling a model of reality that seems most plausible to me at the moment, so the reader can make up their own mind regarding various issues. My latest reflections on the purposefulness that my samadhi has graced my old age here.- ed fisher
