Is this Shangrila?

I saw these news clips tonight online, one about Shangri-la, and the next one about death… right next to each other.

You have an idea that somehow that time is going to take care of everything. You must understand that the mechanics of conditional existence do not lead you to Happiness. They do not do anything of the kind. Happiness is a matter of understanding and transcending all of it. This is something, of course, that you must come to understand and realize by making a serious investigation of conditional existence.

A Journey of Trust

A Journey of Trust

Hi all, I just received a biography of Margot Janeway this morning, it’s out now and available on bookbaby. It looks like a very inviting and conversational story of Margot’s interactions and relationship to the World-Friend Adi Da.

Margot Janeway was born in 1937, just moments before her twin sister. Born premature and weighing just four pounds, she had to fight to survive from the moment she was born. She has been aware of her own mortality and a Divine Mystery beyond this physical realm for as long as she can remember. This spiritual memoir—overflowing with grace-given intuitions, experiences and insights, and with the warmth and wonders of human and Divine Love—was written by Margot in response to the abundant blessings of her Divinely Realized Spiritual Master Adi Da Samraj, who has helped her survive and learn from the many trials and heartaches she has faced. Her trust in Adi Da has been the foundation of her life.
