of One & the Lost Teachings of Atlantis".
Reality?
This book chronicles the author's personal
experiences, and presents ancient spiritual teachings and philosophy. In
order to make it as interesting and readable as possible, much of it is
presented in a story and "dialogue" style, based upon the
author's experiences. Conversations with monks, teachers and students were
reconstructed from records and the author's memories. Thus, while not
perfect transcriptions, the dialogue does accurately reflect actual
conversations.
Hopefully, the book will be more than just
interesting. For those with an open mind & heart, it will also give
reason to ponder the nature of life, the Universe, your beliefs, and the
potentials that exist within your own personal life.
This book isn't about Atlantis or proving its
existence. Besides the fact that many things about the nature of the
Universe, creation, God, and ancient history, are impossible (or nearly
impossible) to prove at this time in human development, the sole purpose
of this book is to convey something far more important - ancient spiritual
teachings that can change your life, and indirectly, improve the world.
We believe that it's best for everyone to
attain direct personal experience of God, and discover the true nature of
the Universe and creation for themselves, rather than taking anyone's word
for it, or believing what they are told or read - including this book and
our teachings. Thus, even though we do necessarily discuss some unprovable
"ancient history" concepts, the teachings provide the means for
achieving that direct experience and direct "knowing" yourself.
By reading the conversations and thoughts of the author as he is learning
this himself, you too can discover a return path to the Universal
Spirit/God, and inner peace.
We aren't trying to convince anyone of
anything, or asking anyone to accept anything in this book on faith - we
are simply presenting ideas. We leave it up to you to think about the
principles and the teachings presented, and decide for yourself whether or
not they are a good thing for you, for others, and for the world.
Within all of us is a "lie detector",
a silent "inner voice", that offers us the greatest potential to
discern truth and reality. People have "fooled" experts with
so-called "physical proof", but the inner voice is never fooled.
[The "inner voice" could also sometimes be termed as a "gut
feeling", "intuition" or "women's intuition"- but
it can also be much more than that.] You may not be very "in
touch" with it at this time, but you can be if you want to. This
inner voice is a part of God within you that knows what is true and what
isn't - if you will just "hear" it. It doesn't "talk",
it is just a "knowingness". The only reasons behind people not
"hearing" their inner voice are fear, desires, and selfishness.
If you can transcend those things even for a moment, you will have the
most reliable source of discernment that exists. Even when all
"external appearances" of truth say one thing, and your inner
voice says another, you can bet that your inner voice is right.
