Teaching Chapter
Mysticism and Non-duality
with Alan Fox
June 28, 2026
10:30am
We will look at the idea of non-duality as it appears in various mystical traditions, and note the ways in which, when mystical metaphors are taken literally, we end up with institutional orthodoxies.
Alan David Fox, Ph.D., is a professor in the Department of Philosophy at the University of Delaware. He earned his Ph.D. in religious studies from Temple University.
His areas of research include Asian and comparative philosophy; comparative religion; and religion and psychology. Alan is currently working with a translation of the Dao De Jing, Chinese Buddhism.

Who We Are
Awakened Heart started in 2005 and is now a Teaching Chapter of the international Centers For Spiritual Living. We are a creative and inclusive commUnity exploring the empowering teachings of Divine Awareness and Science of Mind, the New Thought - Ancient/Ageless Wisdom philosophy that helps people reveal and feel their Divine Essence and Be the Love They Are... awakening all hearts.
Awakened Heart offers Sunday Celebration of Love services featuring diverse speakers and musicians who focus on uplifting topics, music and activities that generate genuine Well-being and show us how to practice honoring the Divine Presence and Its Vision and Purpose as each of us. Together we celebrate the infinite power of Love and explore the unlimited potential of all we create in each moment.
We are a commUnity-centric, volunteer organization, and all major decisions require agreements by specific teams, many of whose members are voted upon by the teams and/or our commUnity as a whole. Our bylaws are publicly available here.
