— “The belief that I am a separate individual that exists within creation is strong. The perception that I was born and I will die, but while I'm here I am going to do the best that I can. I want to succeed, I want to get as much for me and mine as I can. This is basically what happens lifetime after lifetime. We descend down into creation. We have our life. We go through ups, we go through downs, there's happiness, there's sadness. Everything is duality. There are two sides to every coin. We get something, we lose something, we love, we hate. There's never a sense of true happiness or true satisfaction. It's always just striving on and on and on. It's a grind, it's hard work and eventually the soul starts to come out of this cycle. Lifetime after lifetime, the soul eventually realizes that it's never going to find lasting happiness in this outside world, in this illusion, in this maya. The soul then starts to cry out for something greater than itself. This is where the Supreme Being starts to descend down in the form of a Guru or a teacher. — Gareth
Valeria interviews Gareth Duignam — the author of “ Waking Up From The Dream: An Extraordinary Journey Of One Man's Spiritual Awakening”
Gareth Duignam was born in Dublin, Ireland in 1979. In this book, he shares his life experiences which led him to spirituality. An awakening which directs him towards becoming a teacher able to transmit powerful transformative energies including Shaktipat and the Supramental Force. This honest and enlightening autobiography touches on his life of non-conformity before awakening and his miraculous discovery of what lies behind the veil of illusion. It then goes on to document his inspiring journey to become an irreverent, humorous and loving teacher for the students in his group, True Spiritual Awakening.
A unique aspect of his teaching style is the way in which he sees himself as a friend, an equal, and a teammate to his students, rather than a guru. His mission is to empower others to reach the heights that he himself has reached. In the context of this story are many descriptions of epiphanies Gareth has had. His students have noted that when reading these, a transmission of energy can be felt. Therefore reading this book can be a spiritual meditation practice in and of itself.
The personality which Gareth retained after attaining the highest level of consciousness is down to earth, funny as hell, and above all kind and genuine. This book is a gift to the world although Gareth would be too humble to say that himself. A must read for modern day spiritual seekers
