Who is Sri Aurobindo? - Embodied Philosophy
ri Aurobindo (1872-1950) was a modern Indian yogi who founded the form of yoga known as Integral Yoga, a theory and practice of consciousness (yoga darshana) aiming at the evolution of humans into a race of cosmic and transcendental beings, who he termed “supramental beings.” Apart from his own practice, he (writing in English) is today recognized as one of the early contributors to the modern academic fields of consciousness studies and transpersonal psychology. In these fields, he is known for introducing neologisms such as psychic being, overmind, and supermind.

Mentors & Teachers
My teacher at that time, Alberto Villoldo, asked this question, which made me really begin to realize perhaps the magnitude of living this purpose and bringing it alive. And the question was, how do you get out of this lifetime alive? In other words, how do you transcend the world in which you are living now consciously in the present moment, not when you die. I'm a great friend of Sri Aurobindo, and this was the whole idea of his message, this great mystic man, this holy man. It is the descension of the divine, the involution of the divine nature of who we are in evolution.

Stay Curious & Open
I began the quest, so to speak, the seeking part of the journey of my life experience, asking, there must be more. What is my purpose? Why am I even here? These kinds of questions. The discovery of my purpose was, well, quite a journey, to be quite frank with you. Kind of like moving through the depths of hell in some ways, moving to the exhilaration of just looking out over a beautiful mountain landscape.

Follow The Synchronicities
This evolutionary miracle shifts our own personal perceptual paradigm. It offers something that is quite remarkable, a synchronization. Now we're synchronized with the light field, and in the synchronization we're synchronizing with others. We're meeting the people that we're meant to meet. We're meeting the information that's meant to be received. We're receiving in real time. That journey, the great challenge of coming into purpose, the challenges are far outweighed by the receptivity of what the universe offers in terms of the manifestation of the life that your soul is meant to live. It's virtually instantaneous when you're really synchronizing and you're really in the presence of that.

Being In Nature
I live here in a garden. I'm just blessed to live in this very natural world, this very organic place, and in the fertility of this garden. I just invite everyone to recognize that they are the garden too. In this moment in time, although many of us feel that we've created a lot of toxicity in our garden, be it the news that we consume, the relationships that we're in, or the food we have, all this kind of junction and toxicity, the invitation now is to move into the recultivating of your garden, to regenerating your garden. On the most practical and pragmatic approach, the conditions are available to you right here, right now.

Be Courageous
There was great fear at times. Some of my colleagues in my business and real estate referred to me by saying, well, what happened to you, you are one of those now, Adam. There was the breakdown in my own family unit, my belief systems, to adopting myself into the human family as being part of that and not being separate from that. So it was quite a journey. And of course, I am still living in it. And the more I am in it, the more I recognize that I really do not know much at all.

Self-Reflection
There was great fear at times. Some of my colleagues in my business and real estate referred to me by saying, well, what happened to you, you are one of those now, Adam. There was the breakdown in my own family unit, my belief systems, to adopting myself into the human family as being part of that and not being separate from that. So it was quite a journey. And of course, I am still living in it. And the more I am in it, the more I recognize that I really do not know much at all.

Healing Modalities
Ultimately the journey to purpose, in my personal life, came about really through a lot of trial and error, a lot of success and failure, both in my business life and my personal life, and ultimately a determination of discovering this greater potential that all of us have, but that would be our consciousness, our spiritual potential. It wasn't so much about you being a businessman, or being a father, or playing a role in the outer world. It was that my journey was to discover the authentic, true Adam, and that has been the journey to my true purpose. The journey to purpose, the journey to your greater work in the world, what I found came through returning to what is also referred to as the meeting place, coming back to the place within our heart and our mind, a connection as one that says, I'm going to choose again, I'm going to choose love, I'm going to choose the experience of my truth of who I am and my essence and in my Oneness, in my unity with all.

Healing Modalities
Really the training around shamanism and the discovering, exploration about all the things that shamanism is and is not, and how it incorporates everything in our lives, from our social and familial imprinting to our connection to the quantum field, to our oneness with Pachamama, it was very fascinating when my teacher at that time, Alberto Villoldo, asked this question, which made me really begin to realize perhaps the magnitude of living this purpose and bringing it alive. And the question was, how do you get out of this lifetime alive? In other words, how do you transcend the world in which you are living now consciously in the present moment, not when you die. The greatest challenge was ultimately recognizing that this shift of perception away from the world as I knew it, the dualistic, separate nature of what we all live in, in the 3D reality, to let that peace unfold, let it go, to allow the neurology, the wiring, the hard wiring, the reptilian brain of fight or flight, to be in the journey of seeing how that organically found its own way.

Books
This is a course in miracles. It is a required course. Only the time you take it is voluntary. Free will does not mean that you can establish the curriculum. It means only that you can elect what you want to take at a given time. The course does not aim at teaching the meaning of love, for that is beyond what can be taught. It does aim, however, at removing the blocks to the awareness of love's presence, which is your natural inheritance. The opposite of love is fear, but what is all-encompassing can have no opposite. This course can therefore be summed up very simply in this way: Nothing real can be threatened. Nothing unreal exists. Herein lies the peace of God

Books
I became a deep student of A Course in Miracles, and A Course in Miracles asked this very question, and the answer came that the purpose is the same for all of us. Listen up for a second, this is interesting. It's the same for all of us, which makes it really simple, and that purpose is to return and to remember your authentic, true, soulful self. And it wasn't so much about you being a businessman, or being a father, or playing a role in the outer world. It was that my journey was to discover the authentic, true Adam, and that has been the journey to my true purpose. I've always been very fascinated with my learning as a student, and I teach A Course in Miracles as a very core part of my work along with shamanism. The beauty of that body of work is that it synthesizes these places of choice. It's that we all share three things in common. One is we all exist in duality. The other piece of this is that we all love, we're all one, and the other piece of the choice is we can choose between one or the other.

Life-Changing Event
That came in 2006 when I was vision questing in the holy mountains of Peru, the Indian holy mountains. We were trekking with a group at the time, exploring what is known as the Rainbow Lagoon. This was a very sacred and holy place for the shamanic lineage that I am associated with, my shamanic family, so to speak. We were receiving rites of passage, these initiatory rites, these rights to really move deeper into our purpose, to claim our authenticity, to activate within our own DNA the journey that we are to take, although unknown, but it was the journey to take. I was trekking at about 14,500 ft, and we did a ceremony that was specifically dedicated to the rite of the Earthkeeper. The rite of the Earthkeeper was a rite that initiated the initiate into this deeper place of service. The key there was that I heard my calling of service, and the calling of my service was relational to the rite of the earthkeeper and the initiation to tend to, from the little pebble of sand to all human beings, to all life in whatever form it may be, to tend to the well being of Earth and to tend to the well being, of course, of my own personal Earth and journey. But ultimately, that was the moment that said yes, this is my authentic purpose, this is my truest self. And it was quite a moment because it came on the heels of what would almost be the antithesis of where I had been living my life. I will never forget my literary agent said, Adam, you were the Earth conqueror and now you are the Earth keeper.
