The Birth of a New World or Ten Spiritual Lessons for the Birth of a New Humanity
Amoda Maa Jeevan is an author and spiritual teacher. She has been listed as a “modern mystic” and “a living spiritual visionary”. Her mission is to bring the illumination of love to the darkness we perceive within ourselves and in the world. Amoda’s spiritual journey has involved a phoenix-like transformation out of the darkness of personal suffering. Born in 1962 into challenging circumstances, her childhood and adolescence has been a story of loss, shock and isolation. For a number of years she was classified as clinically depressed and later was mute for a period of time. Her early adulthood was spent studying intensely for a Degree and then a Doctorate in Psychology at the University of London. Her cutting-edge research in the 1980’s on the psychological effects of aerobic exercise, the relationship between fitness and stress, and the “exercise high” has been published in scientific journals as well as featured in mainstream TV, newspapers and magazines in the UK.
A profound unity-consciousness experience in 1989 devastated Amoda’s personal and academic life and set her on the path of self-inquiry. During this “dark night of the soul”, she was penniless and homeless for a while. Without the usual attachments and identifications of modern-day life, she became a “nobody”. Fueled by her own unexpected mystical and visionary experiences, the next few years were spent on a deep inner exploration which included meditation, primal therapy, rebirthing, metaphysics, psychedelics, and many other forms of psycho-spiritual methods. http://www.AmodaMaaJeevan.com
