Awareness Rising
Written by Gina Charles
We see and experience our lives through the filters of our history, beliefs, stories and learned behaviors.
The ultimate filter is the mind-made identity.
We don’t see the world as it is, we see it as we are. -Anais Nin

How can I balance material responsibilities with spiritual goals?
The spiritual science of Akram Vignan helps us find the balance between taking care of our material responsibilities and pursuing our spiritual goals, very easily, as this spiritual science works alongside our material obligations.
