"A
human being is a part of the whole called by us the universe, a part
limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and
feelings as something separated from the rest....This delusion is a
kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to
affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free
ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to
embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in all its
beauty."
— Albert Einstein
Welcome
to the Collegium Fabrorum.
The Collegium Fabrorum is a
Spiritual, Philosophical, and Scientific academy with local and online learning
opportunities for those interested in pursuing a path of personal enlightenment.
It contains elements of Eastern and Western wisdom combined into a unified
system based on relational ethics. In particular, it perceives the logos of the
ancient Greek philosopher Heraclitus and
the Tao of the Chinese master
Lao Tzu
as harmonious expressions of universal truths.
"Nature is seen as an
interconnected, dynamic network of relationships that include the human
observer as an integral component. Any parts of the network are merely
relatively stable patterns. Correspondingly, natural phenomena are
described in terms of a network of concepts, in which no part is more
fundamental than any other part."
The Collegium is structured after the school
of Pythagoras at Croton, and incorporates his
mathematical concepts into its curriculum. It views mathematics as an
important part of the total enlightenment experience and attempts to deepen its
members understanding of the universe through programs on General Relativity,
Quantum Mechanics, and String
Theory (M Theory).
In keeping with its Pythagorean roots the
Collegium also attends to politics, current events, and environmental issues.
These are subjects which ultimately affect all of humanity and all life on
Earth. They are, therefore, considered genuine concerns of anyone on the path
of enlightenment.
The Collegium Fabrorum provides a
unique opportunity for those seeking enlightenment and personal growth to
embark on a lifelong journey of exploration and discovery. Through a
tiered approach of study, students will be offered guidance in Spiritual,
Philosophical, Political, and Scientific matters so as to develop themselves
and recognize their role in society and our global environment. Students
will acquire a profound appreciation for the interconnectedness of everything,
thereby igniting a call to purposeful action in their lives.
