Krishnanand catapulted to the ‘other side’ when he was hit in the face by a full- size SUV. While he remained in a Stage 3 Glasgow coma for nine days, he remained fully conscious in a celestial dimension he now calls The Portal-what Tibetan Buddhists call The Bardo and what Vedic/Sanskrit philosophy calls The Akashic Records. He awoke without an identity, having no recall of his name, his partner of 11 years, or his 20 year old son. Krishnanand’s traumatic brain injury and near-death experience persisted for over nine years. The only thing that sustained him was his ability to connect-at will-to The Portal dimension where he receives guidance from akashic-agents (angels) of destiny. Readers will viscerally travel to the other side with him and learn how his lifelong commitment to spiritual studies and practices enhanced his NDE with unprecedented insights. This groundbreaking memoir fuses this world’s most ancient and authentic spiritual paths with a contemporary understanding. It is a portal to spiritual awareness that transcends religion yet remains devoted to the Eternal Truths of all spiritual paths. You will see how to apply Eternal Truths of spirituality into worldly life in order to progress on the Soul’s Journey toward Divine Love Consciousness. Within the Portal is two works within one:As a near-death experience memoir, it is a factual account of verifiable and documented supernatural events; a unique and unprecedented NDE. Krishnanand experiences a string of pearls-miracles over nine years. To tell his story, he needed to explain how these events fit into the eternal truths of our world’s religions and spiritual paths. He was able to do this like few others because of his lifelong dedication of spiritual study and practice since his youth, well before his NDE event. So many souls are seeking light and truth during their own Dark Night of the Soul. Within the Portal provides answers and instructions to begin, to progress and to complete the Soul’s Journey to ultimate Spiritual Realization. The final goal of full and total Spiritual Realization is to transcend the realm of matter and complete the Soul’s Journey to coexist with Divine Love Consciousness for eternity. This goal is what every religion, spiritual path and history’s spiritual masters have been teaching since time immemorial: THE ETERNAL TRUTHS. Within The Portal honors all religions and paths and reveals that which they have in common and unites them rather than arguing over their differences. It is, as the title says, a complete Guide To Spiritual Awakening.
