Publisher's Synopsis
This book was written at the request of a great teacher in order to support spiritual practitioners of various paths better integrate their spiritual experiences, vijñana, with an understanding of how and why they happen: jñana. This is not intended solely as a spiritual memoir. The author shares her personal experiences as an authentic example of a person's journey of self-inquiry, self-knowledge and self-actualization. Her use of Sanskrit and citations from relevant treatises ground contemporary practice in an ancient lineage of practice and theory that support the choices we make in our daily life even now. Our journeys are sometimes joyful; sometimes, challenging: all necessary to our personal evolution. As the ancient grammarians attest, this focus on our individual sadhana inevitably plays a significant role in the evolution of the planet that is up for anyone who accepts the auspicious responsibility of experiencing the unity of the Self in order to support the diversity of shapes and forms in this breath-taking universe and university of our life.
