About OM
Cedric Parkin was born in 1962. Several years of studying academic psychology did not provide him any real insight into the nature of the human being. More fruitful for him, however, was being with his Sufi teacher. Later he started studying the teachings of the Enneagram in oral tradition.
Due to a serious car accident in August 1990, he crossed the threshold of death at the age of 27 and awakened ego-less into the reality of the nondual Absolute. His spiritual teacher Gangaji, whom he met shortly thereafter, supported him in integrating his fundamental transformation, which completely exploded his day-to-day world of experience.
She referred him to her advaita teacher H. W. L. Poonja, a direct disciple of Ramana Maharshi, who gave him the spiritual name OM and inspired his teaching from his insight into the absolute Reality of Advaita.
OM C. Parkin’s spiritual teaching, which he also calls Inner Science, is based on the Eastern Advaita tradition – the Teaching of Non-Duality, with Ramana Maharshi as its most prominent figure in the West, as well as on the teachings of the Fourth Way, made known in the West by Georges I. Gurdjieff. On the other hand, it is based on Western experiential paths, for example Christian mysticism. He also uses modern psychological and psychotherapeutic methods as teaching tools. The goal is self-knowledge through Inner Work, which ultimately leads to the realisation of the true nature of the human being.
"In the innermost heart of the religions of the East (Advaita, Zen and others) we find the ripest fruits of the Philosophy of BEING: The mystery of the dissolution of the world. The spiritual culture of the West has brought forth the knowledge of the evolution of consciousness – the Philosophy of Becoming. The highest teaching is the Teaching of Unification, which unites the paths of Love and Truth - and BEING with Becoming. Thus, (in) the highest realisation unites that which has never been separate."
