Author of The Evolution of Consciousness

Richard Chong III has spent fifteen years moving through the process this book describes.

His work draws on direct inner guidance developed over years of practice, the yogic teachings of Sri Kaleshwar and the lineage of Dattatreya, and the direct transmission of Jesus as a spiritual teacher. These three sources form the foundation of everything in this series.

He lives in Mount Shasta, California, where he works with people navigating their own awakening process, offers healing sessions rooted in ancient yogic practice, and continues the inner work that produced this series.

From the Author's Note

I remembered God as a child, and I spent most of my life trying to feel that presence again.

It was an energy unlike anything else. A presence I knew was real because I remembered it, even though everything around me treated it as a matter of belief.

I did not want to believe in God. I wanted to feel God again. I wanted to return to the thing I remembered.

I wanted to return home.

The Turning Point

In 2012, that search reached a turning point. I went through a spiritual awakening that connected me to a deeper part of myself, what I have come to call my Higher Self, and to an inner drive to heal, both myself and eventually others. I spent years learning how to listen to that part of myself, trust it, and let it guide me.

Two years later, in 2014, I went through a Kundalini awakening that healed physical struggles I had carried most of my life and opened something in me that had been closed for a long time. That experience changed the direction of everything that came after.

Rather than asking others to believe what he has experienced, Richard's work invites readers to explore their own lives, question deeply, and discover what becomes true through their own experience.
