A fascinating discovery in southern India has caught the attention of spiritual teachers from every tradition, leaders from around the world, and millions more. It is the phenomenon called the Oneness Blessing (known as ''deeksha'' in India), a powerful transfer of energy believed to elicit the realization of unitive consciousness. Awakening into Oneness tells the remarkable story of this radical new gateway to personal and global transformation. Writes author Arjuna Ardagh: ''The Blessing can precipitate a shift toward a completely different state of consciousness, where the sense of 'me' as a separate entity dissolves. What remains is a simple and direct realization of Oneness, unclouded by the conceptual mind-something so profound and glorious that it defies logical description. Oneness is the heart's deepest longing, the song of the ages.'' What is it about the Oneness Blessing that has ignited the hearts of so many? You'll find the answer here, in Awakening into Oneness.
