Universal Consciousness Is Profoundly Personal - Aalto, Harri

. .

Résumé :
This book continues to describe Harri Aalto's unique experiences and approach to Self-realization, providing a compelling and colorful - sometimes humorous - understanding through descriptions, personal experiences, and short stories. As an added bonus, and to emphasize the personal nature of realization, Harri has invited many of his friends to describe their own transformations into the awakened state. Alex: Such a relief and wonderful surprise. All these years I had misunderstood that I was only a limited person. In fact, my heart developed an astounding, delicate feeling where the simplicity of my new experience was almost unbelievable. Annabel: The light that I first realized has filled every atom, every rip, tear, hole, and space that was once dark, empty, vacuous, - all these unlit places have filled with the pure light of my own consciousness. Samantha: I suddenly knew that I had been looking for realization in the wrong direction. I was looking in my past flashy experiences, in descriptions of enlightenment, in expectations and intellectual understandings, rather than just being my Self. After this realization, everything in my life dramatically changed. A subtle thread of bliss began to permeate my feelings; my perceptions deepened; a calm sense of knowingness arose. Robert: My consciousness began to expand greatly; I saw the core of my being as expanding layers of tumbling light within myself. This happened about one year ago, and the experience of my inner Self has never left. I have noticed that I now have way less aches and pains. I spend a lot of time laughing and being light-hearted, with less emotional upset.

Biographie:
Harri Aalto was born in a small village north of Tampere in Finland. When he was about five years old he moved with his family to Canada. Harri recalls that, even as a small child, he had the ever-present experience of a surrounding bubble of light that provided happiness and security throughout the days and nights of his childhood. As a teenager, Harri attended an art high school in Toronto and then went on to the Ontario College of Art, graduating with honors. At this time, Harri experienced that he was constantly awake inside-day and night-to the point where his nights could no longer be found. After his school years, Harri pursued drawing, painting, and sculpture. He found inspiration for his work within his evolving internal perceptions of the luminous celestial realms of his experience. In 1973, Harri and his wife Cathy learned Transcendental Meditation. For a number of years, Harri worked personally for Maharishi Mahesh Yogi as an artist and sculptor in various countries around the world. His experiences with meditation unfolded many wonderful, ongoing states of awareness.Harri now lives with his family in southeast Iowa. His work as a fine artist and designer continues, but his main interest lies in writing and speaking about the understanding and experience of Self-awareness.
