| Hopefully,
the book can help reawaken this original creative vision of the
species that holds the key of transformation for our present darker
world. In my books
to date I have written little about myself. This book is a departure
and is centered on my own life-experience. The book is
autobiographical in tone, but it is not so much an account of my
personal life as about how certain changes occurred in my
psyche.
It focuses on an inner
transformation that fundamentally altered who I am and changed my
perception of both self and world. In
my case I simply didn’t build bridges to the East, I crossed over
them and left them far behind. I immersed my being in the soul of
the East so completely that I almost ceased to be a westerner, not
only in my thoughts but also in my instincts.
I moved from a western
intellectual rationality to a deeper cosmic rationality born of
Vedic insight, moving from a humanistic to a cosmic logic and sense
of cosmic law. I trace these changes in order to make them
accessible for others, should they wish to follow a similar
direction.
