Intersections in Time that changed my Life, by Marj
As I would ‘prepare the Field’ for Andrew to step into and teach one of his many multi-day intensives at Unity of Tustin, the Process of Initiation into Vastness would begin. Andrew’s passion for Rumi became seeds in my heart and mind. The one intensive imprinted in my Being, of all of those intensives, became The Way of Passion, a Celebration of Love and of Rumi.
On page 157 in Andrew’s book, The Way of Passion, I found the Vision statement that I recognized as the Purpose of my life: “Set up educational institutions in which the sacred role of genius can be really known and understood and in which mystical discipline becomes the foundation of all the other disciplines.”
The quote plays in my heart and in my mind as a personal Unique Self Mission statement that quite delightfully and passionately sings its own song! Interestingly and playfully, the page number 157 was the three-digit telephone number in my childhood home in Boulder, Colorado. Synchronicity and symbols span our lives.

“Adyashanti” means primordial peace.
Intersections in Time that changed my Life, by Marj
We never know when ‘happen-stance’ occurrences may be significant intersections in time that can change our lives. One happened when I heard Adya speak for the first time. He wasn’t famous yet. I went up, spoke to him afterwards and said that he looked so young for his incredible wisdom. I told him that I wanted him to come to Unity of Tustin.
Then Adya and I just happened to be walking back at the same time to the Inner Directions gathering in La Jolla after lunch that day maybe twelve years ago.
I am a visionary…and I saw it even then. I shared with him that he would be speaking all over the world. He looked at me and said, ‘Well, it’s really only on the West Coast now.’
On September 25, 2013, Adya invited me to be his guest on his worldwide broadcast from Open Gate Sangha. Feelings of Awe, humility and immense Gratitude come as I experience the Mystery of It All…coming into time… Adya’s deep heart invitation was to simply open to speaking of the Descent of the Dove, the movement of Spirit into form, the Void, the Light of Awakening and the Power of Love.

Roger Housden
rogerhousden.comI grew up in the cleft of a Cotswold valley on the edge of Bath, England. As an adult I spent decades traveling the world exploring spiritual teachings and learning from masters both East and West, including the nondual teachers, HWL Poonja, Chandraswami, and Nanagaru in India, the Mevlevi Sufis in Turkey, and the Orthodox Christian communities on Mount Athos in Greece.
My first book was published in the U.K. in 1990, and as of 2012, I have published twenty books, including three travel books, a novella,Chasing Love and Revelation, and the best-selling Ten Poems series, which began in 2001 with Ten Poems to Change Your Life and ended with the publication in 2012 of Ten Poems to Say Goodbye. Maria Sharapova, the tennis star, has called my book, Seven Sins for a Life Worth Living, (2007, Harmony) “one of the most inspirational books I have ever read.”
My work has been featured many times in The Oprah Magazine, in The New York Times, and in the Los Angeles Times. I moved from my native England to the Bay Area in 1998 and while I miss England at times, especially the landscape, I have found my home here and wake up thankful every day for the Bay, Mount Tam, and the wonderful community of creatives and spiritual explorers that have been attracted to this corner of the world.
