About Adam J. Pearson
Adam J. Pearson tries to take thorough reflection and hearty laughter in equal measure. He has taken courses in philosophy, literature, linguistics, history, psychology, sociology, philosophy of mathematics, history of science, and world religions and has a diverse range of interests. Besides writing, he enjoys producing electronic music, which can be heard for free here, cooking, reading extensively, and sharing the company and conversation of friends.
Adam draws on a rich spiritual history. While he was raised a devout Catholic and taught Bible camp in my youth, in high school, he began to think critically about the roots of Christian theology and came to disagree with the doctrine of the Trinity. Thereafter, he studied Islam extensively and finally decided to convert. He practiced the tradition devoutly for 2.5 years, praying in the Mosque, fasting Ramadan, praying over 5 times a day, doing all of the requisite ritual washings.
After his mystical experience led him to sing with whirling Sufis in a Sufi Mosque, the call for direct experience called him on a new journey. He prayed alongside Jews in a Reformed synagogue. He participated in magical rituals with Wiccans and magicians of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. He studied Zen meditation from the abbess of a Zen center and studied Hinduism and bhakti, jnana, and karma yoga with two Hindu Gurus.
After this winding journey, Adam “put it all down,” meditated, and decided to engage with reality directly without mediation from religious beliefs. He continued the practice of self-inquiry he learned from Ramana Maharshi and Nisargadatta Maharaj and deepened with the British philosopher Douglas Harding. Taking up the formless meditation of Soto Zen, he learned to just sit, just abide as reality. Then insights came on their own and somehow he came into the deep experience of” nonduality seamlessly coupled with distinctness” in which he now abides.
Adam Pearson is a man who will leave the world better than he found it.
Or a man who will find the world better when he has left it.
