You are the
Deep Awesome Silence
But most of us need to investigate this bold statement before it becomes a living reality.
We are a Cosmic Travel Agency and we offer journeys that help fellow adventurers to discover their innate peace and stay in it.
Disclaimer: A sense of humor may be required to enjoy the journeys (also life).
How to view the site? (For the engineers and such)
When you see this symbol odds are that it is relevant product information. So called adult-ing.
When you see poems or charcoal drawings, open your heart and let it in.
When you see Galaxy TV... Well, we leave that to you and hope you understand that some visions have to be implemented.
The How? (As a poem)
"You set sail as a somebody.
Discover that you are nobody.
When you cannot find the 'nobody'
You are the Deep Awesome Silence."
Celebrating Owl
Hold on, why are you a Cosmic Travel Agency?
Everything is born from a single source. That means every thought and feeling is a cosmic event like the birth and death of a star.
We are all already on a cosmic journey, so we consider Cosmic Travel Agency to be the expression of the pragmatic reality that already is.
Our Promise
We Evoke
The nondual truth is not a written dusty text. It's an experience of the present moment without a personal identity.
This experience of the present moment without a personal identity is normally called happiness, joy or peace. Thus enlightenment or spiritual awakening is equal to understanding that there is no psychological self that exists independently from the awareness that is present. It is not a mystical experience, it is clarity.
Our job is to be a travel agency that offers journeys that help evoke this experience and then stay in it.
We love everything we offer
For us, it's not about trying to get ideal customers through rational and logical analysis. We offer services and products that we genuinely love and let everything else fall into place. For us, that's the only way to roll.
Together we celebrate life
When you manage to wiggle out of personal identity, Life takes over and the experiences of ordinary life - such as having a morning coffee, listening to music and inviting friends over for a dinner party and having a few drinks - those ordinary moments in life become sacred and deep beyond words.
Feel you need more explanation?
Well, we got some juicy explainer video for only 20-minutes of your time. It's the definition of a no-brainer.
The invitation
Oh hey come aboard,
There is a magical ship
It sails the oceans cosmic wide,
Returning home it never left

It’s mission is a sacred one,
To reveal that Truth exists
This invitation is open
To those who seek a refuge
From suffering and burdens
They feel they will not miss.
With heartfelt gratitude,
Celebrating Owl & Happy Bear

The Friendly Captains - The Final Poem (So far)
It is time to meet our friendly guides
Happy Bear and CO too
We are mere doorways
That show what does not exist
This does not stop us at the least
To be proud and Cosmic Entities
We took a loan from the Universe
and asked for clothing fit
We were given these Avatars
To remind us all that as appearances
We might as well be rich
With fantasy and joy
With humor and with jest
Meet the guides
Tuomas Helkala as 'Happy Bear'
For years, I chased personal growth and external validation, always sensing something essential was missing despite relentless effort. So many courses, training programs and certifications.
In 2019, an intial glimpse of awakening occurred, revealing that the happiness I'd been tirelessly seeking was, in fact, my inherent nature. This revelation profoundly transformed my perception, shifting life from endless fixing to exploring and deepening this new way of being.
My passion now lies in guiding others to explore and embody non-dual awareness in practical, everyday ways. My work blends ancient wisdom with modern, evidence-based techniques, and occasionally energetic or transmission-based practices, tailored uniquely for each individual.
With over 15 years of holistic experience including certifications in Integral Therapy (CIT), training as an Acharya and a meditation teacher, I warmly invite you to join this exploration, uncovering the peace and fulfillment that are already yours.
Information about the Non Self
I'm 42 years old, married, and live with my wife and three children—one with special needs. I dream of eventually sharing our home with more pets, including cats, a dog, and maybe even a horse.
I used to love a wide range of foods, from green smoothies and simple burgers to fine dining accompanied by lovely wines. After having kids, the fine dining and wine quieted down—perhaps someday they'll make a comeback.
My music taste covers a broad spectrum, from punk rock played with childhood friends to enjoying live gigs across various genres.
For years I felt lost, constantly seeking something more, until I realized there’s nowhere to go and nothing to achieve.
“Knock knock, who’s there? Nobody.”
Olli Montonen as
'Celebrating Owl'
The greatest teacher has been the various difficulties and suffering that resulted from a foolish way to live.
Ultimately I lost all my money and failed to achieve any semblance of a functional life. It was due to a sense of "losing everything" that there was a glimpse of truth that temporarily dissolved all suffering and I was left astounded by the deep joy and peace I felt even though everything was just as "bad" as it was a moment before.
Since then I could never believe that happiness was conditioned by the achievements or particular circumstances. And thus began the most magical, greatest adventure of my life into the Truth of who we really are.
The sense of gratitude I feel when writing these words is profound and it is my sincerest joy to guide anyone who truly wants to know the Truth and thus be able to call home the placeless place from which all suffering has been transcended.
Information about the Non Self
I'm 39 years old and live with my wife in Helsinki, Finland. I was born in a small mining town which is not known for its' inhabitants being very interested in nonduality.
My favorite food is pizza and I'm hopelessly in love with food enjoying a wide range of cuisines.
My music taste ranges from classical music to deep ambient techno and from country music to progressive rock. I don't consider rap music to be music with few notable exceptions.
Dancing is my religion and my church has lots of smoke, laser lights and deep ambient bass.
I always wondered why things didn't work out the way I wanted, now I know! I never listened.

The Owl & Bear show strives to be a show
Cosmic Travel Agency reality show is our only paying customer
and it shows only ads from our own journeys.
We are not yet quite sure how the business logic works.
Questions no one really asked
but are answered anyway
How do you relate to religion / atheism / agnosticism?
We think that being open to the possibility of consciousness being the fundamental reality is important. You can change the word 'Consciousness' to words like Being, God, Awareness, Infinity or Universal Intelligence. So it is not that important what you believe but to be willing to examine what you believe and if you find no evidence of being a limited entity, be open to the possibility of being unlimited.
What do you think about the different spiritual and religious traditions?
All of them point to the same truth: There is only one reality and you are that reality. Nothing that rises and passes can even remotely threaten that singular Being.
How sciency / beliefsy / Godsy are you?
Science tells us how the universe works and reveals its mechanisms layer by layer. It is incredibly useful when creating new technologies and conceptualizing the known universe. It does not produce much value into living a happy and meaningful life as it tries to conceptualize that which is beyond all words and formulas.
God is the reality of the universe. This is experienced naturally and without beliefs when we no longer identify with anything that is perceived. You can always choose what words you like if you happen to be allergic to the word 'God'.
Why should I book a journey? What can I expect?
Don’t expect anything. If you feel a glimpse of joy or peace when looking at the site or listening to the videos, then trust that. Learn to listen and read with total intelligence and then allow that intelligence to take charge of Life.
Life is to be lived moment to moment and do not be fooled into believing anyone has anything that you need. Go in because you feel this could be fun and if it is enjoyable keep doing whatever it is until it is no longer enjoyable.
This site is pretty weird at times. Care to elaborate?
It feels absolutely essential to us that we combine artistry, philosophy and entertainment. We both feel it is somehow the most truthful and honest expression of the nondual truth.
