By Shiva C.A.D. Shankaran

The volume you are holding is a combination of two works. Poems of the Ignited Heart is a series of 54 sonnets that powerfully relate Consciousness to mental health. They each convey a powerful image given to the author at a deep core level that painted themselves upon the page in precise words. Taken together they present a dynamic portrait of the evolution of individuals and humanity.

Illumination of the One, is a vital sequel to his first book, A Science of Consciousness, which focuses on Oneness as a living reality. This book includes a series of 6 visualization exercises, meant to be used in conjunction with the text, to promote an experience for the reader of this sacred insight.
