Recognizing Blessings in Disguise: Spiritual Guidance for the Covid-19 Pandemic

By Yogi Shanti Desai and Edward Glazier PhD
The world is currently facing a pandemic that is deadly for some and disruptive for all.

Eternal Reality: Weaving the Wisdom of the Upanishads Into Everyday Life

By treating world reality like a temporary dream reality, and exploring the question “Who am I?, we can use awareness to remain blissful and attain our full potential.

A simple threefold path is advanced. The path requires only that we become still and introverted and rediscover the essence of our being which is peace.

Give up dogmas, effort, mechanical discipline and running outward in search of happiness. Learn to be empty, aware, and in the present.

Quantum Leap to Liberation Book Cover

Quantum Leap to Liberation: Words of Wisdom from a Spiritual Master

“The entire universe is a unified field of consciousness and the matrix of all creation. It is the eternal reality. The temporary world is merely projected upon it.

Everyone is like a wave in this cosmic ocean. Everyone and everything is interconnected. We have the potential to achieve whatever we desire. All we need to do is to have intense desire, and perceive, believe, feel, and project our own reality.

Knock on the door and it shall open. We can then make a quantum leap and find freedom from that which binds us.”
