Welcome to Evolutionary_Mystic Post. It i s the nom-de-plume for this blogger. His name is Victor Ngiaw.

He is a management consultant by profession, having spent 20 over years as Senior Group Sales Manager in the insurance and financial service industry. In 2000 he was appointed as the Chief Operating Officer overseeing 13 branches of a life insurance and financial service organization.

In 2005, he left for USA on a business assignment involved in immigration legal service in a family-based legal firm located in New York.

His interest in spiritual pursuit dates back more than 25 years ago when he attended a Teacher Training Course in Transcendental Meditation and qualified as a TM Teacher in March 16, 1985.
Maharishi Mahesh Yogi

The course was an immense life transformational experience, having had to spend 7 intensive months studying and totally immersed in comprehending Maharishi’s vedic knowledge and research in consciousness, practically abandoning family and business ties and cutting off contacts from the outside world.

The shift in consciousness thereafter was spiritually uplifting.

Some of the memorable moments during the internship were visits to the maximum security prison in Manila, Philippines where he interviewed and conducted introductory lectures on the benefits of meditation to the hard-core criminals.

These were challenging times attempting to explain how meditation could bring about ‘inner freedom’ despite their incarceration in the prison, that they could find ‘peace’ and contentment within, in the midst of the ‘pain-body’ experiences of suffering, stresses and strains.

The whole nation was practically wrought with chaos and civil disorder during the assassination of the opposition leader, Aquino, as he stepped down from the plane onto the airport tarmac. The end result was when the popular People Power revolted and forced President Marcos to resign and later exile in Hawaii.

In 1986, Victor made a pilgrimage to the Himalayas and Kashmir, India and visited the ashram of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi in the outskirts of New Delhi where he attended a ‘satsang’ given by Maharishi.

He also visited the Shankracharya temple located in Sri Nagar.

During his early teaching apprenticeship, he taught the TM Technique to some professional people including bankers, lawyers and doctors, besides the laymen. Due to business commitment, he retired from teaching.

During his own leisure time, he continues to update and pursue his spiritual interest that gravitated to his encounter with several highly evolved and enlightened luminaries as mentioned in his blog.

Dr. Deepak Chopra

Enlightenment is the awakening of the awareness within, mindful of the false identification of life’s true essential nature with the self-centered ego and the constant realization of its impermanence. It is an experience that can be realized at the speed of LIFE – in the present moment awareness in the collapse of time and space.

He is also deeply involved in martial art that dated way back to his college days in the 1960s in Singapore. He now holds an 8th Degree Black Belt in Taekwon-Do and still continues to be active officiating tournament events world wide.

Historical and empirical evidences amply documenting the traditional practices, the rigorous, discipline training and mental concentration, have provided a fertile ground for the serious minded martial artist to be spiritually awaken , and at the same time cultivating the qualities of humility, respect and experiencing the ‘spaciousness’ within.

On the other side of the coin, the martial artist may also get caught in the ego gratification due to the obsessive desire to gain higher and higher level of Black Belt degrees without regard to adhering to the tenets of the martial art, or the “Do” ( Tao ) . Despite the years of disciplined training, some martial artists have yet to be awakened to the experience of the present moment awareness, but instead mired in the display of egoistical ostentation.

The objective of Evolutionary_Mystic Post is to create a virtual platform where bloggers/viewers converge and engage in discussions and discourses so as to bring about a transformational change – a shift in consciousness – that spirituality and humanity’s oneness can be embraced and inculcated within our psyche despite today’s obsession in secular materialism and narcissism.

The urgent message is to achieve a critical mass of connectivity through the cyberspace, so that, we, as planetary citizens of this ‘ global brain‘, – in the words of Peter Russell – will aspire to energize the evolutionary impulses within our own consciousness, thereby uncovering the veils of ignorance that have been the root causes of fear and hatred, and of suspicion and animosity.

This vision will be the vision of all possibilities.
