Shankara said awakening could only be achieved through direct experience. This is the story of the author's first four decades towards attaining that supreme state through meditation, starting at an uncommonly young age in a small logging and fishing town on Canada's West Coast. While many books describe techniques for the practice of meditation and yoga, few provide an actual record of the mystical experiences and developments that follow from their application. A Curious Spiritual Journey provides a rare account, offering intriguing and valuable insight into the often unpredictable process of spiritual unfoldment.
