Supreme Realization: A Journey into the depths of Conscious Energy by Anthony Nayagan is about spiritual mysticism, which the author tells readers is as old as Christianity itself. Nayagan uses several resources to explain that acquiring “self-knowledge” is the foundation of mysticism; he explores how mystical faith involves realizing the likeness of God within us.

Additionally, the author shares some of his experiences as a Christian mystic, and the book explains how he evolved in his life of contemplation.

Nayagan was born in Sri Lanka in the 1950s, and left the country in 1977, when he was twenty-four, and moved to the UK to continue his studies. In 1979, he went to the US.

Nayagan was born in Sri Lanka in the 1950s, and left the country in 1977, when he was twenty-four, and moved to the UK to continue his studies. In 1979, he went to the US. He explains that he had left the Catholic Church in his early twenties (in what he refers to as a “dragged-out departure”). He explored other religious traditions, including Hinduism, Buddhism, and Islam. He studied the Vedas, Vedanta, Upanishads, and other sacred texts. However, he says that the more he reflected on other religions, the more the Bible appealed to him. He characterizes his “return to Christ” as “decisive and eventful” that happened after he divorced his Hindu wife to whom he was married for twenty-one years. At the time, he had lost everything and felt that God was punishing him for leaving the Church to practice other religions – “Catholic guilt,” he admits.

Around this time, he fell in love with a woman whom he would marry. He and his second wife relocated to Bangalore and started their lives together “hoping for a better future in the Church and with Christ.”

As the book unfolds, readers learn that to attain self-knowledge, one must pay special attention to the attachments and material elements in our lives, especially our ego and weaknesses, contemplating them without prejudice.

The author looks back at the original man. He revisits the book of Genesis to analyze some of the beautiful mysteries it entails.

The author thoroughly explores the seven layers of consciousness. He cites the Upanishads, which explains that consciousness is the make-up of seven governing principles of the soul, and he mentions how one can find a similar reference in the seven chakras. Also, the Quran states that Allah created seven heavens in layers. Above all, the author examines the Book of the Prophet Ezekiel and how it delves deeply into the mystery of the seven layers of consciousness: physical, vital, mental, intellectual, beatitudes, self-awareness, and divine existence. At the seventh, duality (Yin and Yang) coalesces to become the same: the non-dual consciousness of divine existence. The author posits that this non-dual state is the essence of Christian mysticism.

Throughout the book, he also cites several spiritual individuals, including Thich Nhat Hahn and Paramahamsa Yogananda, for instance. Nayagan also discusses how Newtonian physics evolved; he discusses quantum physics and its mystical ramifications.

Steadily, Nayagan leads us to finally understand what it means to explore the mysteries of the seventh layer of consciousness. Finally, readers realize that supreme consciousness has to do with the kingdom of God on Earth (Thy kingdom come), exactly how Jesus taught us to pray...

Mr. Biden and the Matter of Scandal . . . WOW

Total lack of wisdom masquerading as “holier than thou” morality.

Anthony’s Quotes

“Within a few generations, all humans will be multisensory. They will experience not only the domain of space, time, matter, and duality that has been the totality of experience for most humans since the origin of humanity, but also nonphysical domains and dynamics that affect us and that we affect.”
― Gary Zukav, Spiritual Partnership: The Journey to Authentic Power
