Buried Treasures: The Journey From Where You Are to Who You Are

by Guru Singh, Ram Prakash Kaur (Editor), Guruperkarma Kaur (Editor)

Buried Treasures is the confluence of two great spiritual rivers that led to fulfilling of the author's destiny — a near death experience and the vision quests of an indigenous village of remote Mexico. Buried Treasures is the story of 3 years in the early adult life of Guru Singh (the book’s author). Gerry Pond (Guru Singh) was twenty years old when he died in a Seattle hospital from a ruptured appendix. This near-death-experience, and all that came with it, gave him the resolve to deliver on his dream of being a musician for freedom and peace in the musical revolution of the 1960’s. The book follows the path that it took for him to get out of the Army Draft; land a recording contract with Warner Bros. Records; record and perform his music while living in San Francisco of the 1960’s; explore higher consciousness with an indigenous village in remote Mexico and find the path he is still on today. Buried Treasures is his journey, but also the journey that each of us must travel to get from where we are to who we are destined to become in our lives. We all have this story in us and each individual’s version of this story is the classic hero's journey.

Fascinating & Enlightening

I was deeply moved reading Guru Singh's detailed account of how, as a young man, he embarked on a road leading to self awareness and enlightenment. It's a wonderful roadmap for anyone ready to learn lessons about delving into a heightened sense self. It shows what it looks like to have a healthy relationship with yourself and with the world around you. Relationship to self and others is something we as a society have become desensitized to. This book is very well written and flows so easily it was hard for me to put it down. I read it in just three days.
