Our Teachers
I have been fortunate
over the last 50 years to personally spend time
with and receive direct teachings and
spiritual transmissions from a number of
enlightened teachers, masters and
saints. The list includes: My first
teacher, Taoist Master Share K. Lew; Siddha Yogi, Swami Muktananda; Tibetan Lama, Kalu Rinpoche; Rev. Kenneth
E. Hagin; Father Thomas Keating; Panache
Desai; Sai Maa, and others...
There are also
those who have inspired, watched over
and guided me from the spiritual world:
first of all, Bodhisattva Quanyin (who
gave me my first experience of the
Divine Feminine), St. Francis, St. Paul,
Neem Karoli Baba, Thoth (Hermes
Trismegistus), Lu Tong Pin (immortal
founder of the Taoist Elixir School, Tao Ahn Pai), Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche,
Paramahansa Yogananda, Sri Yukteshwar,
Ramana Maharshi and many others. I am so
grateful for all of them.
And I am supremely grateful
for the miraculous intervention of my
Lord, Jesus Christ, who has manifested
in my life, over and over again, and for
the Grace He has given me to experience
His direct Presence. He is the shepherd
of my soul, with whom I have a deep eternal
bond and to whom I have consecrated my
life and ministry. Helping people Awaken
to the Cosmic Christ, the Paramatma, the
Divine Radiance Within their hearts, is
my life's purpose, and I have dedicated several pages
to that on this
website (see the
Seraphic
Order).
But, all of that said, I would
be remiss if I failed to express special gratitude, love and appreciation for
the spiritual avatars, Sri Amma and Sri Bhagavan.
I am fortunate to have had private darshan over the years with
both of them. I feel tremendous
affection for them and feel that we have
a special spiritual friendship. For ten years, my wife
Suzanne and I
travelled to India more than a dozen times to receive
from their presence, teachings, and spiritual
transmissions and to undergo advanced
spiritual processes for Awakening & God
Realization. Those ten
years transformed our lives and expanded
our consciousness in remarkable ways.
The gifts we have received from them continue
to contribute to our ongoing work in a
huge way.
Sri Bhagavan & Sri Amma
Now, with the blessing of
Sri Amma Bhagavan,
Suzanne and I have answered the call of
our hearts to fly free, to follow the pathless path.
We serve Humanity and the Divine now as
spiritual teachers in our own right, and
in doing so, we draw upon the wisdom we
have received from many masters &
traditions. We express that now through
our own teachings, life experiences and
personal realizations. But we will
always be especially grateful for the treasures we
have received from Sri AmmaBhagavan, and
we
will always remain united with them in the
Flowering of the Heart. As
Sri Bhagavan taught, "The whole world is
family".
Our passion
is to help people discover the inner
strength, clarity & freedom to follow
their own unique path, to take back
their power & let go of excessive
dependence on outer spiritual forms & structures. This frees us to
follow our own heart & to be led by our own
inner Divinity, without unnecessary
external influences & interference. In this
way, we can be Sovereign, Sentient,
Divine Beings, which is our birthright.
This is the New Paradigm & the true path
of mastery.
From Sri Bhagavan's
Darshan with Italy - June 22, 2014
Sri Bhagavan: "You all want to be
enlightened. That cannot happen as long
as you follow a path or a teacher.
Initially you must do window shopping
and then choose the path which suites
you. Then go deeply into that path.
Then, like a dry leaf, that path must
drop down, the teacher must drop down,
all paths and all teachers must be gone.
Only then you will know your path. That
moment you are enlightened. As long as
there is a path or a teacher,
enlightenment is not possible. If you
make Oneness into a path or Amma
Bhagavan into teachers, there is no hope
for you. Oneness has a built-in time
bomb which will explode and Oneness
itself will drop down. That is your
moment of enlightenment."
From Sri Bhagavan's webcast with South
Africa - July 20, 2014
Sri Bhagavan:
"The ultimate goal of Oneness is total
freedom. If you follow a teacher or a
particular path, then that very teacher
and that very path binds you and
prevents you from becoming totally free.
It is only when all paths drop off,
you'll discover your path. If there are
7 billion people on the planet, then
there are 7 billion unique paths to
freedom and you have got to discover
your own path. Oneness helps you to
discover your path. If you make Oneness
into a path, it will automatically drop
off after some time. At that point of
time, you get your total freedom."
Sri
Bhagavan:
"Oneness trainers and Oneness deeksha
givers must bring about Oneness in the
world. This does not mean the spreading
of the Oneness University or the Oneness
Movement or AmmaBhagavan. It does not
mean that. You must bring about Oneness
in the individual, then Oneness in the
family, then Oneness in society, in your
state, in your country, and the world.
You must do this by giving talks,
conducting seminars and whatever way it
is possible for you. For this to
happen, you must apply the teachings in
your life and become completely
transformed. These teachings must
become your teachings and it must come
from your own life experience. You have
to stand on your feet, become leaders
and do it on your own. You need not and
should not acknowledge the Oneness
University, the Oneness Movement or
AmmaBhagavan. Oneness teachings must
become your truth and they must become
your teachings. Otherwise Oneness will
become a cult or a religion. Then it
could do more harm than good."
