The author is an electrical engineer currently residing in Australia and working in his profession. He attained Self-abidance on 21st September 2016, under the direct guidance since July 1993 of Sage Sri Ramana Maharshi and Sage Master Beinsa Douno. This book is an outcome of the spiritual experiences and the guidance received from these two sages in altered states of consciousness and deep states of meditation.

The quest to reach the summit of knowing- 'Who Am I', and thus to reside and be in Self Abidance, is the highest attainment and goal of human birth. One has to strive ceaselessly on the path of this spiritual quest to finally be in the ever changeless state of Self Abidance, the crowning glory of one's spiritual journey. However, one must be endowed with inherent spiritual qualities and characteristics resulting from the karmic actions of one's previous births to finally realise and be in Self Abidance. The author of this book, Anil Sharma, is one such person. He lived in India from 1958 to 1985 having settled in Sydney Australia from 1985. He worked in the capacity of an electrical engineer, his chosen field of occupation until leaving work in July 2017, and since has been guiding spiritual aspirants in their quest for Self abidance, and to prepare and progress towards the coming of the new culture the new epoch of Love the 'Sixth sub-root Race'.

Prior to 1993 the author had very little to do with either acquiring or knowing of spiritual knowledge except his personal quest of knowing the purpose of human birth, an impulse which greatly troubled him since early childhood. In June 1993 when it is the winter season in Sydney and days are short, one day having returned from work, as he prepared to go to sleep around 9:30 am he saw a huge white figure with flowing beard and white garments appearing right in front of him, this is who the author calls the Rishi. The human form identity of the Rishi was only known to the author in July 2017, that the Rishi had also come in human form as Rishi Master Beinsa Douno the great Sage who lived in Bulgaria from 1864 to 1944.

From June 1993 under the guidance of the Rishi the author experienced the dramatic rising of cosmic currents (also known as the phenomena of Kundalini in ancient Hindu scriptures) in his body, as a consequence of which his own spiritual search for reality intensified, as a result for the next seven years he experienced the various states of higher consciousness. This book is the outcome of his spiritual experiences, and the guidance received from the Rishi master Beinsa Douno, Sage Ramana, other sages and spiritual masters during altered states of consciousness and deep states of meditation. During these seven years he read more than nine hundred books written and referred to by great spiritual masters, attained various siddhis (supernatural attainments), toured many countries around the world, gave lectures, has written books and helped many spiritual aspirants both at the material and spiritual level. However, in spite of experiencing the rising of cosmic currents in his body, having attained a heightened awareness of reality, and achieving many tasks in spirituality, like writing books and genuinely helping many aspirants in the path of spiritualty, his own quest of knowing and gaining personal experience of Self Abidance remained unfulfilled.

In the year 2000 the cosmic currents gradually settled down, also in the same year the Rishi Beinsa Douno introduced the author to Sage Ramana who visually appeared before the author, under the guidance of the Sage based on direct communication with him almost on a daily basis, and his teachings spanning over a period of 15 years from the year 2000 onwards, the author found all the answers to his personal spiritual quest and took him as his Sat Guru. Finally on 21st September, 2016, the author was established in Self Abidance, a changeless state in which any activities of a physical nature or thought and feelings that come and go no longer effect the changeless Self Abidance state of the author.

The author currently resides in Sydeny Australia and continues to serve humanity in the form of such books and writings. He runs a small centre in Sydney called Sage Sri Ramana Maharshi Centre of Learning Sydney. He will continue to disseminate spiritual knowledge to spiritual aspirants as he currently is doing for fellow devotees all over the world helping them to fulfill the quest of Self Abidance and gain knowledge of the future evolution of mankind in particular of the coming of the new epoch of Love the sixth sub-root race based on the vast knowledge and teachings covering every aspect of human life as given by his Rishi Master Beinsa Douno.

The author of the book Anil Sharma, since childhood was always troubled by the question why this human birth and suffering in the physical form. In 1993, at the age of 35 the Rishi Beinsa Douno appeared before him and under his guidance until 2000 Anilji experienced the full rising of cosmic currents also called Kundalini in the ancient Hindu scriptures. In 2000, Sage Ramana appeared to Anilji and has since been guiding him; Anilji took Sage to be his Satguru. In September 2016, Anilji attained Self Abidance, being the permanent absorption in the Self. Anilji has since been guiding spiritual aspirants Self Abidance as communicated to him by the Rishi and Sage Ramana. Under the guidance of the Sage this book is being reproduced, giving a broader spectrum of guidance to spiritual aspirants to understand the phenomenon of cosmic currents, and how this can lead to Self Realisation experiences that may result in Self Abidance.

Previously this book has been published under the title 'Journey back to our Creator' as communicated to Anilji by the Rishi in deep and altered states of meditation from 1993 to 1998. This book was later re-published in Australia as 'Divine Journey'.

This particular edition has new sections as communicated by Sage Ramana to the author, and will be very useful to all spiritual aspirants, and in particular those who have experienced in some form the rising of cosmic currents and are seeking Self Realisation.

Aham-Self in this Aham stands for 'I' and Self also stands for 'I'. These are two words, Aham in Sanskrit and Self in English that describe and represent the reality in symbolic language. No other words like God, Brahman, Awareness, Consciousness, Bhagwan even come close to representing the Reality. Even the words Aham-Self, can be used as a universal mantra to communicate and be conscious of the presence of the Self within and beyond space and time.

This book is a comprehensive guide to the pursuit of spirituality dealing with the various aspects of the spiritual journey of an individual. The reader will embark upon a fascinating study of the whole field of the divine journey from the human body (the temple of soul and spirit) to cosmic consciousness, from meditational journey to spiritual enlightenment as seen by scientific investigations as well by the seekers of truth. It will stimulate and inspire the reader as one is guided in a clear cut understanding of the subject and prevented from straying away on ambiguous side paths. The anatomical and metaphysical working of the various systems and organs of the human body have been critically and scientifically discussed with graphic representations. The arousal and tapping of cosmic currents or Kundalini, the psycho-spiritual energy in the human body has been explicitly explored and that bears testimony to the author's personal experience. He now lives in a state of expanded consciousness being absorption on the Self also called Self Abidance. The reader is lead step by step to the final meditational approach that culminates in the pinnacle of human attainment of enlightenment.

When abidance and absorption in Aham-Self happens for a spiritual aspirant, then the very purpose and goal of the aspirant's spiritual quest reaches completion and fulfillment. There is no longer a gap between the Self Abidance state of the devotee and what the great sages, the likes of Buddha, Jesus, Rishi Beinsa Douno and Sage Ramana, have achieved. The Reality is the same as in the images in space and time and beyond. Hence, the title Aham-Self as communicated to the author by Sage Ramana in meditation on 17/12/18. And its core purpose is to assist spiritual aspirants in particular those experiencing the rising of cosmic currents to gain experiences of Self Realisation leading to Abidance in the Self. Absorption in Aham - Self means an unbroken conscious awareness of Self in one's life.
