A growing wave of people from all walks of life are embracing the spiritual path. After we get a glimpse of the Innermost Being, it is no longer possible to sleep-walk on the surface level of worldly things.
In this hybrid spiritual memoir, Michael takes us on a transformational journey. It begins during his formative years, seeking in the doors of Christianity, his immersion in yoga, meditation, Buddhism, Vedanta, self-inquiry and his ever-deepening abidance in the natural state of peace, our Divine Heritage.
The book is an authentic look at the movement from ego-centered living towards a life focused on Truth. Along the way, Chetana (his wife and life partner) shares her illumined perspective, while biographical sketches and profound teachings from great spiritual masters are highlighted.
True courage and the light of awareness are crucial fuel for the journey. Even the the seeming sidetracks, pitfalls, stagnation, and struggles we encounter, are really aids that help us discover what we really are.
