Joseph Selbie

Joseph Shelby makes the complex and dark simple and clear. Dedicated to meditation for over 40 years, he has taught yoga and meditation in the United States and Europe. He is also an ardent supporter of the theories of modern and evolving science, as evidenced by his shelves groaning under the weight of such books. He is known for his ability to build bridges of understanding between modern scientific discoveries based on evidence and the ancient discoveries of mystics based on experience. Shelby maintains several sites, including Intersections, which explores how spirituality is connected with culture and science. He is also a founding member of Ananda, a community and spiritual movement based on meditation and inspired by Paramhansa Yogananda. He lives with his wife in the village of Ananda near the city of Nevada, California.
