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.
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.
laugh, but a laugh for absolutely no reason at all -- just pure joy. Something frozen in me had loosened up.
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.
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.
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.
