Journey In Consciousness: A presentation by Daniel Stone

In this presentation on Meher Baba’s Divine Theme, Daniel Stone outlines Baba’s unique answer to the eternal question: “Who am I?” Through charts and Baba’s explanations, this program highlights the essential nature of the three-part journey of the soul: the evolution of consciousness through forms, reincarnation, and involution—that leads each soul to find that the answer to this question is ‘I am God—infinite in consciousness, power, and bliss.’

“His eyes were like the ocean”

In this delightful talk, Shireen Irani Bonner, Meher Baba’s niece, shares her wonderful stories of meeting Baba as a child. We see how free and happy she was allowed to be around Baba. She asked Him questions, played with Him, wrote Him letters and took liberties only a child would. Through the lens of her innocence, Baba comes through as an extraordinary uncle and the Divine Beloved.
