I was not going to put anything here because I am nobody special. I don't want to start saying "I'm a certified master such-and-such". I don't want to be defined and categorized. I don't need to impress. But a few words on how I got on this track, at least in this lifetime, I will say ... I did a report in high school on the Upanishads. I did not understand much of it, but it made a deep impression. When young I was living at Lake Tahoe and teaching skiing. I found a pocketbook on yoga and one morning did a lot of exercises from it. When I got to the ski school, our director -- one nice but very "hyper" person -- as usual started yelling his instructions in my face. This always set my morning off in an upset way. That morning, as I went off with my class up the mountain, I noticed to my amazement that I was completely relaxed and at ease.
with and myself had been having some petty differences. It got to the point that I felt uncomfortable just being around him. Well, one Saturday several of us all took the meditation initiation. I remember that evening ... sitting in the living room with this individual completely at ease, feeling as if in an ocean of peace. All the tension completely gone. I have been enjoying that feeling ever since, and that was 40 years ago.
starting to laugh, but a laugh for absolutely no reason at all -- just pure joy. Something frozen in me had loosened up.
Months and years later, as my situation allowed, I took in-residence meditation trainings. I sat in with several masters. I even gave about 10 years doing full-time volunteer work helping teach meditation. I travelled some - around my native California, to Mexico and Central America, Europe and India. Later, I added Yoga and Vedic Astrology to my official trainings too.
consciousness, I had some amazing and beautiful experiences. To talk about such experiences is said to weaken them and can also cause "spiritual egotism". So, just let me say this: I have found that the seemingly strange things the great mystics have said are not poetic religious imaginations -- they are real and alive-- even more so than our current dull experience of life. And they do no t require leaving this planet or becoming dysfunctional. And those experiences only come spontaneously. I refer to experiences like "living waters, crown of glory, unbounded bliss, celestial light, choirs of angels, sound current, awakening of mystic energy (shakti), celestial light, pure love. Myself, I just got a few glimpses, enough to help motivate me to keep going.
practice. Of course, I have always worked too -- in property services and in various educational activities. Currently I live in South Florida with my wife and son.
