Shay Tubaly is an Israeli spiritual teacher, born in 1976. His teaching is non-dual in its nature and he emphasises not only the realization of oneselve's true nature(what different traditions call emptiness, silence, Buddha nature, fullness of being, Christ nature, Self, etc.) but also the seeing that the manifested is not separate from the unmanifested, the unborn. That is, that the evolutionary process itself, the evolution of the manifested realm is the evolution of God so to speak - there is no real separation.
For several years he has held satsang-like meetings, some of which are transcribed in his books. In 2006 Tubaly changed the form of his public meetings. He is now channeling different beings such as Yeshua Ben Yossef (Jesus Christ), Gautama Buddha, Kroan of Sirius, and the Buddha from Orion of which he says he is an emanation. He says he feels this is more powerful than speaking in the traditional way as a spiritual teacher. His work is described as a part of an extra-terrestrial effort in helping humanity in the great changes upon it as we near 2012.
In April 2007 Tubaly seems to have reverted back to the traditional style teaching of satsang.
Shay Tubaly has written some Hebrew books:
Good Morning World (miskal publishing house)-- Excerpts from books of non-dual spiritual teachers.
Seeds of A New Creation (self published - Alaya Publishing)
Opening to Infinity (self published - Alaya Publishing)
The Book of Mysteries (self published - Alaya Publishing)
Tubaly noted he has been influenced by Andrew Cohen and by Tyohar as well as by J. Krishnamurti. Tubaly's new style of teaching has made him quite controversial and he has been criticized in the media(see the links below).
In the past years he has also been developing a teaching which joins together different aspects of spiritual truths and paths. He calls them the different faces or aspects of God, and divides them into four groups, four gateways into the devine.
The four faces of god
The first aspect is Awareness, which includes the traditional eastern and Buddhist teaching of Self knowledge. Through this gateway we discover our true selves as one with God as pure and eternal consciousness. The primary question of this aspect, which leads us through its gate is "Who am I?".
The second aspect is that of the Heart, which includes teachings such as those of Jesus and some Buddhist teachings of compassion. Through this gateway we discover our true selves as one with the cosmic energy of Love. Through the heart arises the compulsion to give ourselves to something bigger than ourselves and lead a life of true service. The primary question of this aspect, which leads us through its gate is "Why am I here?".
The third aspect is that of the Mind, which includes teachings such as J. Krishnamurti, Andrew Cohen and some Jewish sects. Through this gateway we discover our true selves as one with God as ever expanding Intelligence. Through its awakening arises the compulsion to become more aware, to better understand life in its infinite complexity, and ultimately to become partners in creation as and with the intelligence who created the universe. The primary question of this aspect, which leads us through its gate is any "How..?" or "How should I lead my life?"
The fourth aspect is that of the Body, which includes paths such as Taoism, martial arts, Tantra etc. trough which we discover ourselves to be one with God as the material universe. This aspect encourages us to explore the secrets of the material universe and the human experience and to discover the devine light encapsulated in it. The question of this aspect is "Where am I?".
His vision is that all four aspects should become one living flow. That one should be free to move between all four and ultimately merge them into a whole which is much bigger than the sum of its parts. This will be the next flowering of the human potential, on its way to new potentials.
