Patrick Sheridan, like many in the sixties and seventies, experienced spiritual awakening, disillusionment and near self destruction in the psychedelic `counter culture', but this was just the beginning of his story.

He went on to encounter extraordinary things and has recorded them in astonishing depth and detail. The author has practised meditation for over thirty years and has amassed considerable knowledge and experience in his chosen field of interest, humanity's ancient quest for spirituality.

He has long been fascinated by the spiritual reality underlying the world's great religions and universal truths that link them and believes that living spiritual experience is the ultimate destiny and birthright of every human being.
