’Re-union of soul and Spirit, after so long living in the Great Divorce from God, is the theme for this life-time. . . . To find the real resolution from suffering is the work we are here to do.
The key to gaining spiritual freedom . . . is the ability to learn from our experience. This ability to learn from experience is basic to all growth. So many people repeat the same errors and expect different results: this is insanity. The soul who wishes to really grow must be a keen observer of cause and effect, for this is the universal law of creation.
How can we remain in a shadow existence when that is not who we are? Realize that there is much more to us. Let us demand our birthright, proclaim our freedom, and manifest all that we are in truth. This is the task for which we have come and it waits for us to step into the Divine Image and Likeness of who and what we truly are.’
- Yogacharya David
Yogacharya David, as a modern Western yogi, found his way through materialism and the five-sense bound nature that seems to have captured humankind to discover a new understanding of truth-the sacred, ancient, yogic science of truth. Join Yogacharya David as he shares his journey and seeks the infinite soul-force-mankind’s unique spiritual heritage-and finds the path that is seeded in the sovereign heart of each individual. As Yogacharya David shares his marvellous and perilous pilgrimage of sacred discovery with us, we too can embody more conscious soul-force, birthing a new re-union of soul and Spirit.
