This is the home page of International Association of Wayist Organizations (IAWO)
Wayism is not a religion and it is not a formal organization, it is spirituality, it is the worldview and lifestyle that fulfill the purpose of life. We don’t have a priesthood, reverends, pastors or a hierarchy other that the Divine we look up to. You don’t have to be a member of any organization to be a Wayist. The IAWO is a self-regulatory body called to life by Wayists themselves; it regulates the quality of teaching that goes out to the public.
We are volunteers
We fund IAWO out of our own pockets and hopefully one day from donations and sales of devotional material. It would really help if we could afford at least a full time executive director and a webmaster but that may remain a future dream. We have hope though. Without hope, there is nothing. Even Danté knew that.
Why do we exist (our mission)?
We are devoted Wayists from all over the world that believe the discerning public must have a single standard against which to measure individuals, publications and organizations that give themselves out to represent Wayism or Wayist teaching.
How can we do that (methodology or rationale)?
We mention one example to illustrate the rationale, that of Yoga Philosophy. Yoga is an ancient system of thought, a lifestyle and worldview, just like Wayism. Over the ages, many different yogas sprouted from the original source that is now rather obscure. Many ages ago, the public were already inundated with conflicting Yoga teaching and the system started losing it’s well deserved high ranking status because of the conflict. A learned and very able teacher, Patanjali, set himself to task to capture in the purest form possible the teaching of Yoga in its several paths. That became the standard. After Patanjali, the different yogas each took a designation to describe its difference. Today, the world abounds with many well-honoured yogas, each with its own slant upon the original and each with its own particular yoga-name. The discerning public may at any time go back to Patanjali’s source to contrast and compare an ancient source of pure form with the new teaching.
IAWO understand that we do have such a source, the seminal work of Salvar Daosenghlu, and we have well trained, seasoned theologians in our midst who can truthfully interpret the (fairly simple) truth of Wayism from that source. In the future, we hope to see that those who deviate from the source call themselves something neo-Wayism or whatnot. It will serve the public in a good way for years to come.
How do we do that (our objectives)?
1. We determine true Wayism to be the ontology, definitions of terms and teaching forwarded by Wayism’s primary text by Salvar Daosenghlu. This writing is a contemporary restatement of Wayist truth. It contains important definitions of terms without which the teaching becomes just one more of the many failed circular reasoning, fantastic, philosophies out there. Senior members of IAWO are seasoned theologians, with several decades experience in this field. Our purpose in this objective is to interpret the standard and set it out there for all to know.
2. We own two websites, wayism.com and wayism.org and a social networking address on Facebook.com/wayism. Through these channels (other may follow if required) we disseminate true Wayist teaching. Plans are underway to translate the teaching into several languages – volunteers, please take note.
3. We train Wayist coaches.
4. We publish a catalogue of true Wayist media (books, articles, courses, devotionals, etc.)
5. We maintain and publish a list of organizations, trainers, coaches and authors who have pledged to remain true to IAWO standards regarding teaching and ethics.
6. We maintain a forum on our web site where members may interact with one another, ask questions and receive opinions and teaching.
7. We maintain a published list of individuals and organizations who we regard to be passing off deviant teaching as true Wayism. Where possible these organizations / individuals will be formally requested to either change the teaching or change the name to some other form of wayism.
General
Wayism is not a religion and it is not a formal organization, it is spirituality, it is the worldview and lifestyle that fulfill the purpose of life.
Wayist teaching is very clear, and simple to understand. Each aspect of the concise teaching forms part of the whole ontological system. The ontological system explains the purpose of life, where we come from, where we go to, and the path to follow. It forms the Wayist's worldview and lifestyle. When one part of the system is changed (perhaps to adapt it to an organization or individual's whim or needs) the philosophy and ontology collapses. An illogical gap in its philosophy will exist. To recover from such an error, those neo-wayist teachings will then have to invent stops for the gaps and each element they add will lead to another illogical problem Just look at the religions of the day, how absolutely their theologies fail due to circular reasoning. When this happens, like in the past, Wayism is again used as a foundation upon which to build yet another movement, organization, religion or sect.
We don't have issues with people who change and adapt the truth to suit their own needs. To each his own. However, we do however have issues when people make changes and still call it Wayism, because that is fraudulent, it hurts people, and lead people astray.
Call to action
We call on serious students of Wayism to join the ranks of those of us who keep ourselves busy with the quality of teaching. Even if you are not an expert. We have experts with high workloads who would eagerly act as mentor or senior editor to form a team with you and others to work on projects in this regard.
We call on all Wayists to join us on this website. At least, get your name on a distribution list. Wayists effect important changes in the world. We would like to be able to notify you from time to time how and where your voice can make a difference, and what is going on.
We call on those Wayists who are interested in pursuing a part time of full time career as a Wayist coach or Wayist yoga trainer to sign up for training seminars and classes. Wayism is growing at a phenomenal rate across North America, Europe and now in India.
