Live the Eternal Way

The Art and Practice of Self-Realization

A Six-Week Online Video Course
with Yogacharya Ellen Grace O’Brian

Are You Ready to Live Fully, Live Well, and Awaken to Your Full Potential?

“Decide. Decide you will fulfill your highest potential…
Every day is a chance to wake up. Every day is a chance to live the divine life.
To do it consciously, we must decide.”

- Yogacharya O’Brian

There is divine potential in the heart of every person that awaits our recognition and cooperation. Once we discover this innate potential, what was once a deep yearning becomes the dynamic cause that inspires us to live in the highest way. We can all know why we are here, how to fulfill our divine destiny and experience lasting happiness.

 

Engage in this six-week course with Yogacharya O’Brian and learn how to meditate and live by spiritual principles. This course, based on the science of Self- and God-realization of Kriya Yoga, will provide the method, practices, and philosophy that will facilitate the direct encounter with your divine Self that will transform your life.

“What you are is much greater than anything or anyone else you have ever yearned for. God is manifest in you in a way that God is not manifest in any other human being. Your face is unlike anyone else’s, your soul is unlike anyone else’s, you are sufficient unto yourself; for within your soul lies the greatest treasure of all—God.”- Paramahansa Yogananda

“'Seek and you will find... Knock and the door will open.' These familiar words of
encouragement have been spoken through the ages in various ways by spiritually
awake individuals. Those who have experienced the full potential of spiritual realization
reveal to seekers of truth the accessibility and the nearness of enlightenment. 'The
kingdom/queendom of heaven is within you... The Tao is hidden but always present.'
Shining like precious gems hidden in a cave, the priceless treasure of spiritual wisdom
awaits our discovery.”
