Welcome to the Enlightenment Sangha
|
We are a community dedicated to present the path of the Higher Heart. This is a unique and exciting new area of exploration. Through this new template, our community's founder, Shiva, will empower the accelerated development of like minded spiritual seekers. The program of our Enlightenment Sangha supports the conscious, joy-filled journey into the powerful realization of our higher Self as we interact with our Divine nature through meditation sessions, virtual gatherings, intensives, and retreats, and then use that profound awareness in our everyday lives.

Shiva

Shiva incarnated in this life as Tony Chester. His first experience of God awareness was at age five, and this set his life on a path of esoteric exploration and spiritual evolution. Although he had many spontaneous experiences of God Consciousness, his journey into the dissolution of the Self and the entrance into enlightenment did not occur until he met his teacher, Rama.
It was this encounter, and his long association with Rama, that continually pushed him across the threshold of enlightenment. |

His path remains full of unexpected epiphanies, visions and a deep awareness of the divine. Shiva is a powerful American Mystic who consciously transmits sacred energy in his seminars, retreats, pilgrimages, and personal interactions. His approach is eclectic and draws from various religions and philosophies. A Westerner, who grounds the mysteries of the ancient world in a modern and often humorous way.
Every one of us is the Buddha. At one point in our evolution, we all decide to sit under the tree and move beyond this experience into God. When this happens, everything in our Universe will try to pull us back. And everything will pull us back. It is only after we have left the tree and given in to these forces that we realize that we made a mistake. We then go once again and sit under the tree. What took us away before will not have any effect on us now. As we move through the attractions, aversions and ego protection, we move steadily toward Enlightenment.
