Co-creating Manifest Nirvana

As we reach the end of this exploration, the big picture has now become clear: As the wheel of time turned, enlightenment has evolved. It is no longer just about sitting under the banyan tree or in the mountain cave, absorbed in timeless nirvanic bliss; it has become radically world-embracing and, more remarkably, it continues to evolve! As we have entered the 21st century, it has be- come apparent that the evolution of enlightenment across the ages has given rise to groundbreaking new insights, developments, and fresh capacities, propelling each of the Three Jewels of the Triple Gem – The Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha – into new realms of possibility. And so, after having explored the evolution of each of the Three Jewels of Enlightenment separately in the previous pages, the time has now come to bring them all together again and envision their powerful potential as a single, unified whole, enriched by these novel evolutionary breakthroughs. Just imagine what the combined force of these evolutions could mean for the transformational efficacy of the Triple Gem – which is, since time immemorial, already considered to be the most optimum structure to wake up to the ultimate gift of Enlightened Awareness… And Cocreating Manifest Nirvana what would it mean for your own spiritual life and practice? Clear- ly, it’s already substantial transformational power would magnify even further. In a Triple Gem of the New Enlightenment, the Buddha would not just enlighten, helping us access the state of timeless, form- less Being prior to all evolution; he would also set us on fire with the ecstatic urgency of evolutionary Becoming within the cosmic process. The Dharma would not just instruct; it would continue to evolve and generate exhilarating, eye-opening new insights as it keeps pushing into new territory. And the Sangha wouldn’t just support; it would be a thriving Higher We, adept in the art of living awakening relationally and lit up by the untold potentials of Inter- subjective Nonduality. The Triple Gem of the New Enlightenment, by virtue of its world-embracing nature and evolved capacities, carries within it an increased power to catalyze positive cultural change, and with that the promise of inching us ever closer to heaven on earth. This bright promise is our bold aspiration at Manifest Nirvana. We are a group of spiritual explorers, sovereign souls, radical spirits and integral pioneers, dedicated to deep transformational practice. We feel inspired to actualize the still largely untapped potentials of the New Enlightenment and co-create a brighter future for all of us by advancing the evolution of consciousness and culture. Our Sangha is a crucible where enlightened awareness directly informs the values we hold, and where these enlightened values are not just talked about, but lived in our day to day lives. For us, awakening to the radiance of Enlightened Being beyond the mind is not the end, but the entire context within which we can face the complexities of our lives. Our vision is to wake up beyond this world, while still being bold enough to dream big within it.
