In I am that I am, Prabhuji argues that religious doctrines are often based on superstition, providing a false sense of security in a vast and incomprehensible universe. For him, true religion is a path toward self-knowledge and inner transformation, where the ego dissolves and consciousness expands. In a process of teshuvah, or return to the primordial source, a deep reconnection with our essence and the totality of life is established.
The sages of the Torah have unraveled the mysteries hidden in the sacred texts, offering contemporary seekers a path toward the realization of the Self and the ultimate Truth. This book presents a collection of those pearls of wisdom, following in the footsteps of the ancient prophets and providing guidance for those who, in our time, continue to walk this eternal path of return toward spiritual realization. With remarkable erudition in Judaism, Prabhuji sheds light on the mysteries of the ancient Hebrew scriptures to guide readers along the path of the Sinaitic revelation.
Prabhuji is a writer, abstract painter, an avadhūta, a universalist Advaita mystic, faithful official member of Hinduism, the creator of the Path of Retroprogressive Alignment, and a realized master. When he was eight years old, he had a mystical experience that motivated his search for the Truth, or the Ultimate Reality. This transformed his life into an authentic inner and outer pilgrimage. He has absorbed the teachings of great masters, shamans, priests, machis, shifus, roshis, shaykhs, yogis, pastors, rabbis, kabbalists, monks, gurus, philosophers, sages, and saints whom he personally visited during his years of searching. For him, awakening at the level of consciousness, or the transcendence of the egoic phenomenon, is the next step in humanity’s evolution. Prabhuji chose to retire from society and lead the life of a hermit. His days are spent in solitude, praying, writing, painting, and meditating in silence and contemplation.
