When I think of Ann's guides, my own dreams or intuitions, "speaking in tongues", or Gospels, my belief is that they come from a very deep place in the Self which has an intelligence, wisdom and insight that far surpasses that of the ego that we falsely define as us. The relationship of the ego mind to the infinite depths of the Soul is akin to being a ripple upon a wave riding a tidal wave riding on top of an Ocean of no beginning nor end. As the Hindu Ramakrishna entices us, "Dive deep and you'll return with a new gem every instant." A new gem means a production of infinite creativity.

According to Ann's helper, Andy, the primary goal of Amara Tia Ann is to help people see the bigger picture, to find perspective on day-to-day experiences. She does this through one-on-one work, small group work, workshops and writings on the website. Andy states it is a joy to see people being more fulfilled because of Ann's work.

What better fulfillment can one have than catching a glimpse of the Self, the Self that is infinite?

If you wish to take that glimpse, please listen to Envision This' interview with Tia and Andy at http://www.blogtalkradio.com/envision-this/2013/11/12/grounding-spiritual-energies-in-our-physical-lives

To help you see the pattern across the world regarding what David Bohm calls the Unmanifest, please read the following creation myths (also reread Genesis 1:2 above):

The approaching Night, in her display, spreads over the twilight, which is but the reflected remnant of an apparent consciousness, itself but the veiling power of ignorance, of unconsciousness. It seems to us impossible that Night may ever entirely drive away Twilight, as well as all remnants of thought or perception, but the Absolute Night is the ultimate form of Consciousness and when perception of all appearances vanishes, she appears supremely resplendent. By comparison with her, Twilight and Dawn are but an obscurity. Just as Dawn vanishes when the Sun arises, so also the veiling power of ignorance dissolves when illumined by the Power of Consciousness. When the veiling power which appears to us as Light is consumed to his roots and previous deeds cease to bear consequences, then the non transcendent darkness which is the root of unknowing is forever destroyed. ( Danielou, 1991, p. 270)

This Goddess is one manifestation of the void and darkness of Genesis: 1:2; the Greek Nyx (Uncreated Night); and the modern day scientific evidence for dark matter.

In medieval Europe, the Christian Mystic, Jacob Boehme wrote this version of creation:

For the Nothing causeth the Willing, that it is Desirous; and the Desiring is an Imagination...Wherein the Will, in the Looking-Glass of Wisdome, discovereth It Selfe...and impregnateth It Selfe with the Imagination out of the Wisdome, viz: out of the Virgin-like Looking Glass, which there is a Mother...For, the Will, viz: the Father, speaketh...in the Looking-Glass of Wisdome...and openeth the Word of Life." (Schipflinger, 1998, p. 198)

The Rig Veda (10.129) recounts the Indian Hindu creation story this way:

There was neither death nor immortality then. There was no distinguishing sign of night or day. That one breathed, windless, by its own impulse. Other than that there was nothing beyond.

Darkness was hidden by darkness in the beginning; with no distinguishing sign, all this was Water. The Life Force that was covered with Emptiness, that one arose through the power of heat.

Desire came upon that one in the beginning; that was the first seed of mind. Poets seeking in their heart with Wisdom found the bond of existence in non-existence. ( Doniger, 1981, p. 25)

Later in the Rig Veda : 10.125 (p. 63), the Life Force that was covered in emptiness speaks:

I am the Queen, the confluence of riches, the skillful one who is first among those worthy of sacrifice. The Gods divided me up into various parts, for I dwell in many places and enter into many forms.

The one who eats food, who truly sees, who breathes, who hears what is said, does so through me. Though they do not realize it, they dwell in me. Listen, you whom they have heard: What I tell you should be heeded.
