Who we are
Religious History, Credo and Teachings, Body of Religious Works:
New Being Project is a Federally registered 501(c)(3) non-profit.
New Being Project is a church of Yoga and the Sufi religion. Religion is defined as a way to discover one's true origin.
Yoga is a religious science whereupon, physical postures, breathing exercises, sound practices and meditations are performed to unveil and stabilize the functioning of the True Self which is united with its Source or God and all things in God's creation. Yoga is a sanskrit word which refers specifically to the teachings that came out of India, with the earliest recorded teachings being the Upanishads appearing roughly 900 BCE.
The Sufi religion recognizes the major religious teachers such as Abraham, Moses, Jesus, Mohammed and Buddha to be teachers of the one truth, the one law and the one God expressed in different languages, in different cultures and originating in different times. The formal Sufi Order, or what may be called Sufi schools or brotherhoods, may be traced to the period of Daniel in the Old Testament. A history of the Sufi religion is contained in The Sufi Message, Hazrat Inayat Khan, Vol. 1; Fourth Edition; London: Barrie and Jenkins, 1979. Hazrat Inayat Khan was the founder of the Sufi Order of the West, formed in California in 1911.
The oldest form of Yoga known and practiced in the New Being Project church comes from the Bon, the indigenous culture of Tibet. Both the Bon and Sufis cite their religious roots beginning approximately 26,000 years ago in the ancient country of Tazig or what was ancient Persia.
The World Evolution Circle of Friends, formed in 1974, is a living Being, ever expanding, breathing and dancing with the changing times and the evolution of humankind. Our Circle of Friends offers a Way of Being together in Love all the time with everyone and with all things. It offers the Spiritual Path of Awakening through participating in community, training, seva, leadership and initiation, experienced in evolutionary stages of Becoming responsible. These correspond to the path of Spiritual Family, the Yogic path of self mastery, the Bodhisattva path of selfless service, the Tantric path of relating to all things without preference and aversion, and the Initiatory path of becoming the Beloved, the One True Friend. It exists to honor and reveal the great Lineage of Enlightened Being that originally incarnated on our planet approximately 26,000 years ago in the ancient country of Zhang Zhung or ancient Persia, as recognized by the Bon and the Sufi spiritual traditions, respectively. It seeks always to unify the heart of the Sufi mystic and the tantric yoga and shamanic technologies of the Bon. Its essence is the embodiment of the union of the spiritual and worldly paths of mastery. The teachings offered by this Circle of Friends are precepts common to all major spiritual traditions and have as their ultimate aim individual and universal wholeness.
New Being Project has developed Rudra Yoga which describes how to maintain continuously one's natural state of mind which is open, clear, loving, enlightened and connected to the God Source and all things in creation.Examples of these teachings are the Rudra Yoga Description, the Four Prime Directives, the Five Transformational Sutras, the Yamas and Niyamas, the Word, I Understand and I Agree and Completing Cycles.
