Manage episode 424769139 series 3491884
Hey there, amazing listeners!
I'm thrilled to share the latest episode of the Endless Possibilities podcast with you. This time, I had the honor of chatting with the incredible Harri Aalto, a distinguished author and artist whose life journey is nothing short of extraordinary. Here’s a sneak peek into our conversation that you won’t want to miss:
Harri's childhood was marked by a unique perception of consciousness, feeling surrounded by a protective sphere of light.
This sphere provided a sense of safety and effortless flow, which he initially thought was a common experience for everyone.
Journey Through Transcendental Meditation (TM):
Harri's introduction to TM as a young adult was a pivotal moment, allowing him to explore the quietest levels of his own consciousness.
This practice catalyzed significant leaps in his personal experiences and understanding of consciousness.
Artistic Expressions of Insight:
Over the years, Harri has expressed his profound insights through various forms of art, including watercolor and oil paintings, as well as sculpture.
His books, "Landscape of Enlightenment" and "Universal Consciousness," delve into the interconnectedness of all things.
Stages of Consciousness:
We discussed the different levels of consciousness, starting with unity consciousness, where one feels a sense of oneness with their immediate environment.
Harri elaborated on the expansion of consciousness beyond unity, perceiving connections to the stars and the entire universe.
Navigating Isolation and Self-Realization:
Harri provided insights into the feeling of isolation within one's own consciousness, explaining it as a natural part of the journey towards self-realization.
He guided me through understanding that this isolation is a significant milestone in the spiritual journey.
Unity Consciousness and the Universe:
