“THE PERENNIAL PHILOSOPHY”
TOM NEILSON
The mystical traditions of Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism. Judaism, Christianity, and Islam make similar claims about the ultimate nature of reality: that nothing is separate and all is, in a sense, one. Aldous Huxley referred to this understanding as “the perennial philosophy” in his book of the same name. This talk will be a brief introduction to the perennial philosophy. Tom Neilson will draw on his own experiences and on poetry, both sacred and secular, to convey a deep feel for the subject.
Thomas D. Neilson (Psy.D.) is a Clinical Psychologist with a private practice in individual, couples, and group psychotherapy. He has had extensive training in mindfulness and is deeply committed to meditation practices and techniques.
