And what is mind
And how is it recognized?
If I clearly draw
In sumi ink, the sound
Of breezes drifting through pine
Is all that is seen.




My Vision: The Story of Once Chris Hebard

It has been a passion of mine for some time to aggregate and distribute the teachings of authentic self realized western teachers. This passion grew from the difficulties I personally encountered trying to identify and learn from authentic teachers in North America.
What struck me was the difficulty discovering who could help me and, once discovered, locating well produced material of their teachings.
I had experienced a “dark night of the soul” that resulted in my “egg getting cracked”. It was a profound epiphany, which left me with many more questions than answers.
But what I discovered was that there was no central resource for information on self inquiry and realization. I scoured hundreds of websites and bookstores, sifting through Channelers, Psychic Astrologers and past live regression experts to find authentic teachers of Truth.
With the loving help of friends, I found these realized souls but, then was surprised to discover that their audio, video and published material was poorly produced and distributed.

Part of this phenomena is explainable: it seems the more authentic the self realized teacher is, the less interest they have in fame, glory or money; the better the teacher, the more difficult it is to locate them. And in the past, true seekers were perhaps as rare as true teachers, so the teacher’s obscurity was a necessary part of the manifestation, in a world where few understand their message.
But what struck me on my search was how many people I met who were looking for the Truth.
I wondered, “Has there ever been another time in human history has a book like “The Power of Now” by Ekhart Tolle had managed to become a bestseller?”
I believe, this is an unprecedented time in the human dream, a time when Reality is waking up to itself at an unprecedented scale.
Our joy is to help others on that path.
Our service is to help them, by professionally filming teachers, and developing more effective ways to distribute these teachings to seekers.
The work is dedicated to seekers, those compelled to discover of truth.
Many cannot experience the teachers firsthand due to distance or budget. We do this work out of gratitude to the teachers. Atma Vichara is a non-profit. We do this work out of love for the seeker, who like myself has a burning desire for liberation.
This project is envisioned as a service, bringing Truth seekers and authentic teachers together.
How it plays out is not in our hands. We are only responsible for making the offering; the rest is, as they say, up to Ishwara.
In Loving Service,
Chris Hebard
