Description
Welcome to Open Source Spirit, an experimental work group...
Membership is open, but subject to terms of service.
Please read the "Terms of Service" document in the "Files" section of this site.
You will also find in "Files" a document which describes and gives examples of OSS work.
Our purpose is to dissolve any restrictions which are implicit in the terminologies of any traditional "religious" and spiritual "path" and "way".
We do not propose to establish a new religion, but to uncover the experiential truths which have given rise to religious / spiritual terminologies now in use, and to give "open" names to these truths.
Open Source means both "free" and "non-proprietary". We strive to compile a body of useful concepts which liberate, rather than restrict, the human being.
Traditional religious ways define what may be experienced and what those experiences mean. One usually unseen side-efect of closed definitions, is the painful binding and restrictions which such terminologies may cause, if such terms are learned and used. We believe that humans are very capable of expressing spiritual or "religious" experience and awareness by means which are outside of the restrictions of tradition...
