Learning through teachers & community
Living Fire is a member organisation. A spiritual research school, where students can gradually become involved in growing and passing on our wisdom, methods & techniques. Be it through teaching, research, or other forms of service.
Central to our approach is the empowerment of all students to become able to gather spiritual insights directly, through their own efforts.
Our spirituality isn’t a belief system, it is an approach to exploration and investigation. Learning happens through teachers, but also very much through interaction with fellow community members.
Moving from studying to researching
Members of our organisation start as students, while in their learning they are being trained to gain spiritual insights directly. This learning slowly transforms into doing spiritual research.
Collaborating with fellow members, they will ultimately take on research projects. First in a more formal way, later on fully at their own initiative.
The purpose of this research is to share insights with each other and the world at large. From the intention to contribute to the collective awakening of human consciousness, of the planet & our solar system.
Non-religious, non-dogmatic
At Living Fire we seek to stimulate your spiritual autonomy. Explain to you how you can reproduce and verify results for yourself. Show you why an exercise works the way it works.
Our work is designed to help you develop a direct relationship with truth, rather than relying on borrowed beliefs or external authority. Dogmatism is not something we stimulate or use.
The methods and teachings we share with you, can greatly help to further develop the spirituality you already experience.
Regardless of what tradition or religion you may feel already connected to, you will likely experience that our path only deepens your experience of them.
Energy-based Spirituality
Foundational to our view is the understanding that all that exists is energy. And that this is a reality that can be constructively influenced by you and directly explored through your senses and awareness.
We explain all our spiritual and philosophical teachings from the viewpoint of energy dynamics. And offer you many ways to explore such dynamics by yourself.
This gives a very deep and intuitively logical understanding of the connection between form and information on one side, and the essential and spiritual nature of all things on the other side.
Coincidently, through these methods not only our own teachings can be understood more easily, but also the teachings and practices of other spiritual schools and traditions.
Intuitively logical
Our esoteric spiritual teachings, that are truly structured and brought back to their essence, do not only help practitioners become more intuitive, but also see the logic within their intuitions, to integrate Heart & Mind with one another.
Only then can the full power of spiritual discernment — called viveka khyāti in the Indian traditions — be awakened inside you. Through this discernment you will become a ‘Divine Bearer of Truth and Justice’, or ṛtambharā.
The key to developing this is learning to see the energy dynamics within each element of your inner and outer life evermore clearly. This expresses the central theme of our organisation: Energy-Based Spirituality.
Circles, triangles, squares...
Our teachings simply can’t be taught without teachers — at the same time we just as much feel the need to be a space for learning members to have the opportunity to share their experiences, declare their needs and fully blossom.
Meetings follow a geometric interaction structure: circumpuncts and circles for learning and exploration, triangles for teaching exchange, and squares for practical coordination. Their alternation at the same time creates a slow ritual and meaningful interaction structure.
It was designed to give room to both the authority of teachers and the inner authority of learning members — and to make roles clear while also giving opportunity to explore different roles over time.
Towards Self-Realisation — and into Liberation
Our philosophy, methods & techniques are here to support the seekers of the world in their quest for Self-Realisation: the deep realisation that we are not the self (small s), but the Self (capital s).
This Self is the Soul, that is an individualised part of the Divine Reality. To us this is certainly no endpoint. It is rather a new beginning.
From this point on — by putting our Self-Realisation to good use for humanity and the world at large — we are liberated further and further, into the Divine Reality that is our true home and essential nature. Thi is spiritual Liberation.
The source of our teachings
Our teachings are an intelligent synthesis of wisdom, methods & techniques that mostly come from Yoga, Samkhya, Vedanta & Theosophical philosophies, understood from the level of energy dynamics.
As well as from direct insight, gained while in meditation. At the moment only gathered by our founder — and soon, hopefully, also by our students.
Here for the seekers of the 21st century
Current times — and the possibilities & challenges they offer — require us all to be intuitive yet rational, sharp yet compassionate, open yet firmly centered.
Our approach and community are designed to navigate these complexities, to help bring into manifestation the spirit & forms for what seekers need now & in the future that is unfolding. Yet, they are based upon the the balance, wisdom and strength of Eternity.
We’re here to spread the Light — therefore, we do our work on a non-profit basis. In return for the guidance and value we offer, members pay a modest membership fee.
Fierce Compassion!
An interspiritual heart
Living Fire was built with a strong conviction that all the religions, spiritual paths and wisdom traditions of the world are members of the same family. Merely different forms, different means towards the same end: Unity with the Divine.
We teach our members a certain approach, but also always tell them to look beyond our own tradition and seek the similarities with other traditions and to treat people from other traditions as brothers and sisters on their Path.
Moreover, we even believe our teachings are structured in a way that they actually help see this Unity behind the Diversity of Paths more easily, to feel it more deeply and to become more curious and inclusive of the other.
