Saints and Spiritual Supermen
"I AM that I AM"
Moses
Throughout human history, man in his attempt at understanding life, has relied on the knowledge and example of Spiritual Masters - named in various religions as Saints, Mystics, and Yogis.
These are the Silent Ones - those men and women who have overcome the mind and discovered their own true nature. This Divine Union is our birthright, but one that is scarcely taken upon by most of us. Only those who have a true and fervent desire to end their own suffering (of the mind) will find the "Peace That Passeth Understanding". This is seen as the greatest challenge and also the only one worth taking.
There are many of these Mystics who are never spoken or written about. They are the ones who humbly go about their lives silently helping others to reach an understanding of themselves. The following pages highlight the stories of just a few who have seen through the mystery and Truth that is Oneness and have chosen to demonstrate this publicly. They are here to guide the Way.
