Perusing all the traditional life goals of modern Western culture─education, family, church, career, and fun─nothing could prepare this author for what was to come. For the past ten years or so, I have experienced mystical and spiritual phenomena. With no understanding of what was happening, the quest for Truth became my only mission. As I was driving home from a David Hawkins study group, I was having trouble determining what was real and what were "transparencies," as I called them.

I drove straight ahead and saw a pair of headlights in the immediate distance pointing directly at me. I realized I had turned down the left side of a divided highway and was driving head on into oncoming traffic I immediately pulled a U-turn and was able to right myself onto the correct side of the road, but I had no idea where home was.

Time, space, and location, which are linear, were not accessible to my nonlinear state of thought. I had never heard of kundalini, chakras, etheric brain, no mind, or duality, and I had little understanding of Eastern religion/philosophy, such as Hinduism, Sufism, or Buddhism. I had never heard of the Vedas,
