This book is dedicated to the transformation of human consciousness toward oneness with all life.

By Preethaji

As I open the doors and walk onto the veranda, I feel the crispness of the air turn moist. The breeze brings the scent of the wet earth from afar. Two large dark clouds gather overhead, unburden themselves, and go their way. Water is flowing from the roof into puddles in the garden. A frog croaks loudly and another answers; soon there is an orchestra of them. My senses are exploding with delight. Bliss is pouring into me from all sides before subsiding into a state of deep calm. My CFO calls from Los Angeles to discuss our upcoming meditation app. The inner stillness continues through the conversation... and the words flow.

Why does life not always seem so effortless?

Why are deep, rich, and fulfilling moments in our relationships so few? Why is progress on our climb to achievement so slow and the obstacles so great? Why is happiness so fleeting? We feel a flash of joy when we see our children smile, when we embrace our loved ones, when we hear applause for a job well done. Why does our elation fade so quickly, only to be replaced with anxiety, worry, or doubt?

For thousands of years, human beings have sought answers to these questions. We have pursued countless strategies for awakening to a more beautiful existence. We have worked hard on honing our skills, mastering ancient disciplines and trendy hacks alike.

But has all this strategizing brought us any closer to the lives we dream of? Or is it just yielding temporary results?

To be sure, there is nothing wrong with a tactical approach. But our goal is to help you go beyond the mediocre and awaken to a power that is much greater than any technique you can mastera power that will enable you to create a life of great prosperity and great love. You need only unlock it.

It is the power of a transformed consciousness.

To put it another way, were not talking about retraining the mind or embracing better habits; were talking about nothing less than transforming the way you experience reality. The way you experience yourself. The world around you. Everything.

Think about that for a moment.

What would it mean to experience life in a completely different way? To feel as if new parts of your brain have been activated and revved up? To see opportunity where you only saw obstacles? To sense that finally time and fortune are on your side?

What would be possible with such a powerful consciousness?

If you are like many of the people weve met in the past three decades, you are hungry for such knowledge. Thirty years ago, my in-laws, Sri Bhagavan and Amma, founded Oneness, a spiritual organization dedicated to helping individuals move from survival to living, and twenty years later, my husband, Krishnaji, and I founded One World Academy, our own philosophy and meditation school for transforming consciousness.

It has been two years since my in-laws handed over Oneness to Krishnaji and me, and we have since then merged these two great organizations to create O&O Academy. Our curriculum has helped thousands of people nurture relationships free from hurt, create achievements free from aggression, and live free of fear. It has taught them how to move from separation to connection, division to oneness, stress to calmand, in so doing, transform themselves as individuals and as members of families and organizations.

O&O Academy is not an ashram for settlers, but rather an organization that engages its students in dynamic learning. You take what you learn here and you apply it to everyday life. We offer courses for teens, young adults, families, spiritual seekers, conscious wealth creators, and leaders who want a consciousness upgrade.

Many initially come to Krishnaji and me for exactly the kind of strategic advice I just wrote about, but it doesnt take them long to realize that all strategies pale in comparison with the insights and the magic that unfold in their lives as a result of awakening to the sheer power of consciousness.
