dedicated to countering the arguments, theories, and ideas proponed
by Richard Dawkins, perhaps best known recently for his book The
God Delusion, concerning atheism, religion, and Darwinian evolution. The

visit.

Celextel Online Spiritual
Library at http://www.celextel.org
is an extraordinary free source of a wide variety of spiritual texts and related
material, much but not all of it related to Hinduism. While many seekers will
undoubtedly have their own personal hard-copy versions of a lot of this stuff
in favorite translations, this
website merits a serious visit.
February 22, 2008
Closer Than Close at http://www.poetryinmotionfilms.com
is an eighty-minute documentary about the spiritual or inner search for Truth.
The film consists, on the one hand, of an ongoing conversation among a small
group of young seekers reaching together for an understanding of Life's Reality,
and on the other hand, of talks by three men who have found what they are looking
for. The juxtaposition of these two mediums — struggling seekers and
successful seekers — makes for a particularly rewarding viewing experience,
offering as it does both the reassurance that we are not alone in our hopes
and doubts and fears, and the promise that yes, even we, whoever we are, can
succeed. This film has a nice, poetic flow, enhanced by good music and beautiful
images from nature.
February 12, 2008
Kiva at http://www.kiva.org,
in the site's words, "lets you connect with and loan money to unique
small businesses in the developing world. By choosing a business on Kiva.org,
you can 'sponsor a business' and help the world's working poor make great strides
towards economic independence". In our view, Kiva is one of the more exciting
things going on in the world today. It gives everyone of us — any one who
can afford to lend as little as $25 —
a real opportunity to change the world. Visit the site, and decide for yourself.

Project Ijtihad at http://www.myspace.com/projectijtihad is
described as "a charitable initiative to promote the spirit of Ijtihad,
Islam’s own tradition of critical thinking, debate and dissent”.
There is an interesting essay at The
Washington Post website about this undertaking. The essay asks the question,
"Is there a way to reconcile our faith with freedom of thought?" and
then replies, "Yes, there is. The Qur’an contains three times as
many verses calling on us to think than verses that tell us what is forbidden
or acceptable. In that sense, re-interpretation – which means re-thinking
Qur’anic passages, not re-writing them – is an Islamic responsibility".
August 16, 2007
Wide Awake Living at http://www.wideawakeliving.com/index.html is,
in the words of this site, about "the possibility of awakening out of lives
of limitation and suffering into lives which are freely, intimately, and joyously
at-one with all that is". The fundamental premise here (and these are our
words) is that what we all seek is closer to us than our breath itself, and
that we can find it right here, where we are right now, in the lives we are
living right now, if we are willing to do so. There are free articles, poetry,
a newsletter, a blog, as well as "spiritual mentoring" for a fee.

On the site are various articles, gorgeous photographs, and several books, free

The
Spirit: That Stranger Inside Us at http://www.jeanemilecharon.com/index2.html is
an English translation of L'Esprit
cet inconnu written twenty-five years ago by French nuclear physicist
Jean Emile Charon, who set out to prove that humans are immortal. In Charon's
words, "This book is intended for all of us who reflect on the mystery
of our bodies and our consciousness, on the rapport of Spirit with Matter,
and the scale of the whole Universe. I profoundly believe that we humans are
desperately searching for a perspective that enhances our position in the
immensity of the cosmos, by simply putting into harmony what we know with
what we feel".

spiritual process as lived and perceived by the author. One, "Nothing Personal",
consists of a series of talks and dialogues, and the other, "Gifts with
No Giver", is poetry (from which our favorite line is, "I have fallen
in love with truth"). Writing about the former, the author's own teacher
observes , "The beauty of this collection ... is that it covers much of
the spectrum of spiritual awakening, from the initial experience of one's
true nature to the practical challenges, which always call for a deeper seeing
and deeper understanding of how spirit manifests as all of life and beyond".
April 27, 2004
Sexual Dualism to Spiritual
Oneness, a new book by TZF visitor Charu Bahri, explores celibacy and
spirituality.
Charu writes us, "While many perceive celibacy as a boring or a hardly
attractive proposition, for anyone interested in spirituality, this book will
present a reasonably convincing (at least in my view!) case for celibacy, encompassing
both purity of personality and a character firmly balanced between masculine
and feminine traits, in order to reach the highest state of self-growth or
evolution possible". Her book offers a collection of inspiring sayings
and teachings drawn from numerous spiritual
traditions, including TZF's own article, Do
We Have To Give Up SEX?. The book is now available directly from the author
at bahriad1@sancharnet.in.
April 20, 2004

skeptics, ghosts, as well as religion, spirituality, and the like. The site's
guidelines insist that the process by which sites are chosen for inclusion is "highly
selective and focused, and that this directory is not a promotional tool".
From what we saw, it seems the site lives up to that promise. (By way of full
disclosure, not to mention the risk of revealing a touch of pride, we note with
gratitude that TZF is a recipient of the site's "Top Site Award".)

Blind Chihuahua, The Virtual Church at http://www.dogchurch.org/. This
extraordinary site introduces itself as follows: "Welcome to this sacred
place in cyberspace named after a little old dog with cataracts, who barked
sideways at strangers, because he couldn't see where they were. We humans
relate to God in the same way, making noise in God's general direction,
and expecting a reward for doing so. Hence our creed: We can't be right
about everything we believe. Thank God, we don't have to be!"
December 1, 2001
Rick Ross at http://rickross.com. Unfortunately,
there exist — and there have always existed —
leaders, gurus, teachers, groups, cults, and movements that claim to be, or
appear to be, more than or other than they are. This site addresses itself to
that subject. In its own words, "This website was created to offer the
public a resource of information concerning controversial and/or potentially
unsafe groups, which may have drawn some concern, attention and/or interest.

Christ, Yes: Religion, No at http://www.iuniverse.com/.
This new book is the work of TZF's good friend, Art Hale. The book's
fundamental premise is that the teachings of Jesus,
on the one hand, and the creeds and doctrines of Christianity, on the other,
are two entirely different things; and a seeker should
feel free to reach for the former, while rejecting any or all of the latter
that proves unhelpful. Among the subjects addressed in the book are: the "essential
polarity of creation"; the tendency of religions to
use "fear, guilt, and shame as motivators"; and ways and means of
achieving conscious contact with All That Is through prayer and meditation.
The book is available at http://www.iuniverse.com,
where it may be read online or ordered in paperback. Art has submitted a
poem and a short story to TZF's Open
Space, and he is a frequent contributor to TZF's Open
Forum.

A friend recently gave us a subscription to the magazine associated with this
site, and we like it a lot. About itself, the site writes, "It has been
developed over three years by the Publishing Group of Trinity Church, Wall Street,
working with an advisory group of leading theologians, philosophers, and researchers

SpiritSite.com at http://www.spiritsite.com/.
This very nice site calls itself "a home for spiritual book and audio excerpts,
columnists, and more". It's a good thing they included "and more" in
the description, because here you will find a lot of that! There are brief biographies
of various teachers, columnists, and others, descriptions of and excerpts from
numerous books and other writings of interest to seekers on any path, audio
clips of music, sermons, and other talks, and ... well, more.

a forum with no name at http://members.aol.com/Jualt/jualt4.html.
This site describes itself as "an open eclectic metaphysics forum".
Although we cannot say we have read everything here (there is a lot!), what
we have read presents a very interesting mix of good stuff. And eclectic is
the right word to describe it!

America'sDoctor.Com at http://www.americasdoctor.com/.
This site describes itself as "an Internet-based, health information and
resource site designed to assist consumers with their health information inquiries." It
includes an extensive library of health-related information and a lot of other
very good stuff, including real-time chat capability with a medical doctor.
