Отрывок из книги
Before we begin I just want to tell you a little bit about myself, who I am and how I arrived at where I’m at.
I was raised in the farm belt of the United States of America in a small town. And from a very early age I wondered about “Who am I?”, “What am I?”, “Why am I here?”, “What is my purpose in life?” These questions kept gnawing at me because though I had found some answers in the religious upbringing I was taught, it didn’t give me all the answers.

So I continued my quest. I knew I hadn’t found the ultimate answers yet to who, or what I am. I began at a young age – around 19 years old – to do meditation. And I really delved into it in my twenties and thirties and did it regularly, and have done it regularly now for decades.
And again, in my meditation practice, I found the most beautiful, awesome experiences; truly beyond any of my imagination.
