Embodying the Infinite and the Dissolution of the Separate Self
Stories, Transmissions, and Ancient Vedic Knowledge for the Complete Liberation of Source Consciousness
After my initial, life-changing spiritual awakening in 1986, I became profoundly aware of how much more there is to discover in life. This experience opened me up in ways that made it impossible to believe in material security as a means to lasting happiness. I was in a state of exalted bliss for 2 years, which ended abruptly with a severely debilitating illness in 1989.
This illness caused me to be bedbound, and it was only through a powerful and intimate relationship with the Divine that I began to heal something deep within, which saved my life.
In 1993, my life’s path led me to the feet of my Master, Mata Amritanandamayi Devi, Amma, who gave me the immense grace I needed to transcend experiential learning and into the clarity of life beyond the false, separate self. With these unique and powerful transmissions, I was led on a journey that didn’t conform to any intellectual understandings but took me directly into the embodiment of consciousness.
This book is a result of that journey and my relationship with Amma. I have included many stories that illustrate how deeply a real Sat-guru works, removing the sources of separation- the identification as a "me."
As the decades passed, I began to recognize the patterns of dissolution and the intelligence behind them. As I began to grasp their significance, I saw the intention behind these patterns: to be an instrument in the hands of the Divine.
I offer this book to all those ready for that journey.

Unpredictable Grace:
My Adventure Recovering from Chronic Pain through Neuroscience and Quantum Mechanics
In December of 2021, I awoke in the middle of the night screaming with intense pain. The pain felt completely different, like nothing I had ever known. I couldn’t walk without assistance, and this became terrifying. I went to doctors, physical therapists, massage therapists, chiropractors, and acupuncturists, but the pain only worsened. I entered into a downward spiral of confusion and despair. I was dizzy, shaky, afraid of being seen, and highly hypervigilant. I lost all touch with my familiar sense of self within a short time.
None of my abiding spiritual awareness was able to calm this state down. Surrender only exacerbated the downward spiral.
And so I prayed for help, and when support came, it opened up a whole new world- Neuroscience. As I explored this new world, I gained a deeper understanding of how powerful we are and how we can change, heal, and evolve through our brain’s neuroplasticity.
I began to see how compatible our brains are with the world of frequency or the Quantum Field. A door opened into a way of aligning with the energies that remove not only suffering and pain but also the source of suffering: separation. The deeper I delved into this exploration, the more I realized how the Quantum Field could be our means of understanding how connected we all are, through our brains.
Through this process that I share, the pain faded away, and a new self began to emerge —a self that was free from the learned programs of the past.
