IN THIS TEACHING


In Jet Stream of the Avatar, Mark Griffin presents a profound exploration of consciousness at the level of cosmic evolution, revealing the Avatar as a direct manifestation of the Original Soul—the singular, universal consciousness expressing itself through countless individual forms. Using the commemoration of Meher Baba as a point of entry, the teaching examines how divine consciousness descends into the world and leaves behind a living current of grace that continues to shape spiritual evolution across time.

At the center of the teaching is the concept of the “jet stream”—a subtle pathway embedded in the fabric of consciousness through which seekers can accelerate beyond ordinary karmic progression. This stream is created through the descent and return of Avataric consciousness, moving from the Infinite Ocean of Consciousness, through the Om Point and the veil of maya, into embodied existence. This movement reflects the same nondual principles explored in Everything & Nothing, where the One appears as many without ever becoming separate from itself.

Griffin situates this process within a hierarchy of spiritual law. While karma and samskaric impressions govern the conditioned experience of the individual, they are ultimately subordinate to a higher principle: grace. The Avatar represents this higher law—a direct intervention of consciousness into its own creation—placing a latent impulse toward awakening within all beings. This dynamic is closely related to the transmission principles described in What Is Shaktipat?, where awakening is catalyzed through direct energetic contact rather than gradual accumulation.

The teaching further describes the human being as an instrument designed to receive and conduct this higher influx of consciousness. Through meditation, surrender, and the refinement of attention, the practitioner becomes capable of aligning with this current. As the mind is stilled—culminating in states such as Nirvikalpa Samadhi—the individual begins to perceive the deeper structure of reality and participate consciously in the evolutionary movement of awareness.

Ultimately, Jet Stream of the Avatar reframes spiritual life as participation in a much larger continuum. Awakening is not only an individual realization but part of a universal process unfolding across time and space. The “jet stream” represents an opportunity to move beyond the limitations of personal karma and enter into direct alignment with the living current of consciousness itself—where the individual dissolves into the universal, and evolution becomes an expression of grace rather than effort alone.
