In 2016, Akash was connected to the essence of Guruji, the Avatar of Hinduism's Lord Shiva, in a formless relationship. Guruji guided him to study A Course in Miracles which is dictated by Jesus. This study lead to the existence of the book, Introducing You to Your Own Perfection, which is the subject of this podcast. Introducing You to Your Own Perfection was written under challenging circumstances. It was if it came out of nowhere or now-here. The book began during the Coronavirus Lockdown, as the writer had an 18 month-old baby, a pregnant wife expecting another, a full time career outside of writing and a normal householder life. To ensure the message of this work was not lost, it was written during the toddler's naptimes on the weekends and during the week after hours until late at night. The intense force inside to get the words down and arrange this material was "overwhelming" as Akash wanted to extend his experience and introduce you to your own perfection. To connect with Akash and the bright light which joins humanity, please see: https://www.johnhuntpublishing.com/o-books/authors/akash-sky FB: https://www.facebook.com/akashsky.awakening IG: https://www.instagram.com/akashsky.awakening/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@akashsky.awakening This podcast is available on your favorite podcast platform, or here: https://endoftheroad.libsyn.com/episode-261-akash-sky-formless-relationship-with-essencelord-shivajesusinner-perfection Have a blessed weekend!

Dr. Enna Reittort describes her journey as follows: "After ten years in an esoteric caste-denying Indian subculture, I left my academic PhD behind to go barefoot as an aspiring peasant in the spirit of regenerative farming. Perhaps this is 'deep' anthropology rather than theoretical, and in apprenticeship to Nature, the greatest teacher whose language our subtle bodies can understand better than our restless minds." Enna now lives at the edge of a village in rural Thailand. In this podcast we discuss her wonderful new work, Broody Blue, which I believe is my favorite book of this young decade. It is near and dear to my heart and I love what it evokes when I share its mystery. It is the closest thing to a "finger pointing at the moon" I have ever discovered.
