Welcome to Buddha at the Gas Pump® (BatGap)
Ordinary people everywhere are undergoing a shift to a more awakened state of consciousness, thus transforming their understanding of themselves and the world. For some, the awakening has been abrupt and dramatic. For others, it has been gradual.

We also conduct conversations with scientists researching higher consciousness or those whose work/service contributes to raising collective consciousness or individuals with specific awakened abilities such as intuitives or mediums.
Perhaps those listening to these conversations will become convinced, as we are, that genuine and permanent spiritual awakenings are real and becoming more commonplace. But most of all we hope to uplift and enrich your understanding of what is possible.

“Spiritualization of material life is the real need of the modern world. We want Christs and Buddhas walking the busy streets of New York and esplanades of Calcutta … When all duties of this imperfect earth will be performed by angelic men and women … then our earth will be heaven, and darkness will be changed into light.”
