Life poses many questions. Dying is one of them: What do we do at the moment of death? For the most part, we deny death. We never really look into the nature of death as a cycle of life. We never examine our reactions; therefore, we never give ourselves the chance to practice how to die; as Warrior Saints, gracefully and courageously. Our denial produces either fantasy or fear in the subconscious, which blocks prosperity and creates dis-ease in our lives and our relationships. We must learn how to confront the moment of death and determine our Self within it so that we can 'cross over'. "If a person doesn't know how to die and doesn't know where the grace is or how to confront that last moment, what is the purpose of life?" -Yogi Bhajan "Merging with the Infinite" shares quotes and meditations about the many aspects of death and dying, based on the teaching of Yogi Bhajan.

Like no other telescope ever invented, the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has given us magnificent high resolution views of the gigantic cosmic collisions between galaxies. Hubble's images are snapshots in time and catch the colliding galaxies in different stages of collision. Thanks to a new and amazing set of 60 Hubble images, for the first time these different stages can be put together to form a still-frame movielike montage showing the incredible processes taking place as galaxies collide and merge. The significance of these cosmic encounters reaches far beyond aesthetics. Galaxy mergers may, in fact, be some of the most important processes that shape our universe. Colliding galaxies very likely, hold some of the most important clues to our cosmic past and to our destiny. It now seems clear that the Milky Way is continuously undergoing merging events, some small scale, others on a gigantic scale. And the importance of this process in the lives of galaxies is much greater than what was previously thought.

Journey of The Great Circle is a collection of 365 contemplative narratives designed as a daily transformative practice for the purpose of personal transformation. The annual collection of narratives is divided into four volumes, Winter, Spring, Summer, and Autumn each beginning on either the solstice or equinox. Each of the 365 narratives has a specific spiritual theme to help you gain a more expansive understanding of what really matters - and points you to how to live a life with peace of mind and inner freedom. The various themes of the narratives involve insights from spirituality, quantum physics, the evolutionary perspective, the study of visionary archetypes, healing, and transformative practice. Journey of The Great Circle can be thought of as “a spiritual map of an awakening life”. A life of inner freedom is when one consciously realizes the perfection that’s always unfolding within - and within all of life. Living with this awareness allows the natural states of peace, happiness, joy and harmony to effortlessly arise. It is a life of one who has devotedly learned to love others and all of life unconditionally - and who has gained the joyful awareness of serving the wellbeing of others. In these writings, one who attains this level of mastery is referred to as a Master of Freedom. We are all natural-born storytellers with a mandate from Life to generate the most fulfilling and creative story of life we can imagine. Every day is a new opportunity to make our life story a little more glorious, a little more fulfilling, a little more creative. We are the authors of this story in every moment of our lives based on the intentions we choose, either consciously or unconsciously. For most people, in order to have the most glorious, fulfilling, creative, and peaceful life requires some form of spiritual practice necessitating conscious attention each day. Journey of The Great Circle utilizes a transformative system of daily practices that can help you: 1) Experience a life of peace, happiness, joy, harmony, and fulfilling creative expression. 2) Prepare for the day's activities and surprises that await you so you can meet each situation from the “sanctuary” of heart wisdom, gratitude, and centeredness. 3) Connect to the inner guidance of the heart so you may live you life with ease and grace. 4) Learn to love every expression of life unconditionally. 5) Maintain a conscious alignment with a Greater Power. A Greater Power has been called myriad names, including but not limited to, the Source of Life, the Infinite Presence of Love, God, the Great Spirit, and the Infinite Intelligence of the Universe. When Journey of The Great Circle is used on a daily basis it will help cultivate inner freedom and assist you in fulfilling your sacred destiny of an awakened life as a Master of Freedom.
