All the way through his life journey, Akbar Jaffari intensely suffered from anxiety and agony. Although he was progressing through external life, his inner life remained torturous—until the day he asked himself why he was still unhappy and restless. As he set down a new path to awakening, he studied hundreds of religions and sciences and attended over eight hundred classes, seminars, and ashrams within diversified cultures. As a result of his successful quest to seek and embrace bliss, he decided to document his teachings and present it to all those seeking the truth . In a holistic guide to living in peace and harmony, Jaffari travels through eight thousand years of lost directions and instructions to provide realistic, practical approaches to returning to the true self, reconnecting with divine forces, and allowing the universe to manifest its purposes. Through his insights and wisdom, Jaffari details the journey to first seek purpose and then understand the birth of ego, the irrationality of the mind, workplace challenges, the identification of ego-based needs, the difference between being and doing, the madness of the world, and much more. Ascend the Depth: Righteous Rise guides those in search of the true self to dissolve their contaminated memories, unwrap conditioned perceptions, release the ego, and ultimately discover happiness.
