advaitaJournal Vol. 16 – Awakening To Reality

After publishing 16 advaitaJournals successfully in German language, we decided to issue advaitaJournal Vol 16 also in English to connect with spiritual seekers worldwide. The publication of the German edition of Volume 16 coincided with the 25th anniversary of advaitaMedia. This journal represents our first international magazine to the timeless topic of “Awakening To Reality” – the heart of the inner path.

What is the sleep of man? What hurdles and deceptions do seekers encounter on the inner path? What role and significance does the guru play on the path to awakening? And what can we learn from the personal experiences of spiritual masters and teachers who have concluded this path?

This edition includes a text by Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee, an American master from the Sufi tradition, about his journey into the ‘Vast Emptiness’, a disarmingly honest report by Dutch spiritual teacher Rani Willems about her own delusion of being awakened, a conversation with OM C. Parkin on ‘Awakening from Sleep’ and a heart-warming, very personal insight by Regina Sara Ryan about the path with her guru Lee Lozowick.
