Todd Perelmuter

Aletheia Luna
“Every spiritual journey is different, just as every Soul is different. At times you will climb the mountains of the Soul and experience the incandescent bliss of Divinity. At other times, you will plunge into the cavernous depths of your inner being and wrestle with long-hidden monsters. However, despite what path you’re currently walking, it’s vital to remember that any pain or fear you’re experiencing is completely normal.”
Aletheia Luna, The Spiritual Awakening Process

Let go of all fear

You need to love yourself

I know it was a long journey

You have nothing to lose

Allow it to take over

A new version of yourself”

Paramahansa Yogananda
“The Upanishads have minutely classified every stage of spiritual advancement:

- Jivanmukta ("freed while living")

- a siddha ("perfected being") has progressed from the state of jivanmukta ("freed while living") to that of:

- a paramukta ("supremely free" - full power over death); the latter has completely escaped from the mayic thralldom and its reincarnational round. The paramukta therefore seldom returns to a physical body; if he does return, he is:

- an avatar, a divinely appointed medium of supernal blessings on the world. An avatar is unsubject to the universal economy; his pure body, visible as a light image, is free from any debt to Nature. The casual gaze may see nothing extraordinary in an avatar's form; but, on occasion, it casts no shadow nor make any footprint on the ground. These are outward symbolic proofs of an inward freedom from darkness and material bondage. [...] Krishna, Rama, Buddha and Patanjali were among the ancient Indian avatars. [...] Agastya, a South Indian avatar.

- Mahavatar (Great Avatar) - Babaji's mission in India has been to assist prophets in carrying out their special dispensations. He thus qualifies for the scriptural classification of Mahavatar (Great Avatar). [...] Babaji is ever in communion with Christ; together they send out vibrations of redemption and have planned the spiritual technique of salvation for this age. The work of these two fully illumined masters is to inspire the nations to forsake wars, race, hatreds, religious sectarianism, and the boomerang evils of materialism.[...]
Only one reason motivates Babaji in maintaining his physical form from century to century: the desire to furnish humanity wit ha concrete example of its own possibilities. Were man never vouchsafed a glumpse of Divinity in the flesh, he would remain oppressed by the heavy mayic delusion that he cannot transcend his mortality.

“Even though our life's journey doesn't often take us via the route we plan or expect! No matter where we find ourselves in life at times... that internal compass usually has a way of making sense of it... and reorienting things for the better!”
AshRawArt

“...when we embrace the unexpected... we commonly find ourselves discovering far more, than when we rigidly stick to the original plan. What's more, those unexpected adventures or detours... that we experience... then frequently become, the highlights, memories, or even... meaningful important lessons in life, that we'll forever cherish!”
AshRawArt

“Our world often reveals itself 'within' the ordinary... everyday moments... that envelop us 'without'. Within a sunrise, in the smell of freshly cut grass, or even when were sitting beside a tranquil stream. These ordinary... everyday... unrushed... moments, can truly be... extra-ordinary!”
AshRawArt

“...potentially, there exits an 'Adventure Within & Without'... just within plain sight... within each and every moment of our every-day!”
AshRawArt

“The world around us expresses such divine artistry… for those who would but take the time to delight in all it’s glorious wonder and see the things that we wouldn't otherwise see.”
AshRawArt

“...sometimes you can feel that you've lost something... but, then at the same time you can discover you've actually found or gained something. Life's untold adventures... the adventure within & without... will often begin here... in this paradigm.”
AshRawArt

“...homeostatic processes, mechanisms or strategies are in effect... EVERYWHERE, transforming and reorienting EVERYTHING... every moment... of our EVERYDAY! Intrinsically, seeking to bring about connectivity, continuity, balance and harmony... which are integral for sustaining LIFE...our LIFE!”
AshRawArt

Sarah Hays Coomer

BK teachings

Alistair Conwell
“For the truth is that the brain sullies the flow of pure
consciousness to provide us with a physical, but inherently distorted, view of reality. And the
reason is quite simple—the brain cannot deal with non-physical realities so it conveniently rejects these, while necessarily allowing the flow of consciousness to continue.”
Alistair Conwell, The Audible Life Stream: Ancient Secret of Dying While Living
