Secret Journey to the Enlightened Mind: Life with Three Spiritual Giants of Our Age

Dr. James Weldon

Those of you who consider yourself spiritual seekers, and love to hear about "flashy experiences" will love reading Secret Journey to The Enlightened Mind: Life with Three Spiritual Giants of Our Age, by Dr. James Weldon.

Some readers told Tony they loved the book once they got past the first 60 or 80 pages, which dealt with the Author’s early years. In fact, I found his youth and upbringing and experiences very entertaining and quite useful in putting into context the rest of his life. The "sizzle" begins with his initiation into TM and his experiences with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. He goes on from there to associate with Siddha Yoga (Muktananda and his spiritual heir Gurumayi Childvilasananda). Finally, he finds his fulfillment with Sri Sri Ravi Shankar.

The book has integrity. I felt the honesty of the experiences and enjoyed the journey. For those of you who, like me, enjoy autobiographical accounts of spiritual quests, this is a must read. It is truly a memorable spiritual saga, and for those of us who like to hear about the intimate details of spiritual enfoldment this is a true page-turner and not to be missed.
