As a practitioner of Tibetan Buddhism I find this much relatable: another means to find the same thing. But hearing it from the perspective of another tradition, with different words and concepts, also adds to my path.

I am a student in the order of Narayana guru, Nataraja guru, guru Nithya and Shoukath from Kerala, India.
Nataraja guru wrote in length on Global consciousness, oneness of God, one government and one economics. I felt touched when you spoke of same notions in one of your interview.
Love.

One day, in 2014, not long before he died, my father and I were in my car, about to drive into town. He noticed my little Buddha on the dashboard. “Are you a Buddhist?” he asked. I said, “No, Dad. Not strictly. I’m a metaphysician, which means I take the best from all teachings, and disregard the dogma.” It was the clearest moment I ever had with my dad. 🤟💙🦋🦋

There are so many interesting biographies of mystic people. They make unique journeyes in their lives. Moving between different religions and different parts of the world, somewhere they find their teacher. Mrs Ira Tweebie the guru of this speaker is one such stories. Russia, Europe, south india, kashmir.... Then see Hazrat Babajan. What a woman. Also these are the real heritages of South Asian Hinduism and Islam and Christians... So deep.
