Finding Shambhala: In The Valley of Supreme Masters

by M.G. Hawking, Jenna Wolfe, Heather Cantrell (Editor)

Journey into the world of a profound legend through this unprecedented first-hand account to explore a reality that for long millenniums has remained concealed under layers of myth and secrecy.Rarely has the world been so enduringly fascinated and inspired by an ancient legend as it has with the historically ubiquitous stories of Shambhala, the fabled hidden sanctuary of transcendentally enlightened sages and mystic masters. Scholars relate that the scriptures of the 4000 year-old pre-Tibetan Zhang Zhung culture may be the earliest extant references to this mysterious realm, yet it is described in many ancient traditions; the pre-Buddhist B’on treaties, the Kalki lore, the Puranas, the earliest texts of the Kalachakra Laghutantra, and in the ancient wisdom traditions of civilizations throughout the Himalayan regions of Asia and beyond. The Zhang Zhung and Tibetan scriptures refer to the mysterious world as Shambhala I lam-yig, B’on treaties as Olmolungring, Hindu histories as Aryavarth, Chinese as Hsi Tien, and Russian traditions as Belovoyde.In an esoteric treatise composed in the early 1500s by Ensapa Lobsang Döndrup, the Third Panchen Lama describes his remarkable visit to a land of wise masters hidden deep in the Himalayas. A rare manuscript written in 1592 by Antonio Monserrate, a Spanish missionary to the court of the Mughal emperor Akbar, speaks of his experiences in a remote valley in the high mountains where great sages reside. A remarkably similar account is found as recently as the late 1700s, written by the esteemed Sixth Panchen Lama, Lobsang Palden Yeshe.Years ago, on an extended trek into a closed and largely unexplored inner region of the vast Himalayan wilderness, in an isolated valley surrounded by towering ice peaks, explorer M.G. Hawking chanced on a beautiful small village. In that community he encountered extraordinary men and women, introduced to him as “masters” and “sages.”Our team at Wisdom Masters Press has worked to compose a series of books based on Hawking’s journals and field notes detailing his experiences in that remote area of the Himalayas. This was a complex project; during his sixty-two months in those regions, Hawking accumulated hundreds upon hundreds of pages of hand-written journal entries and field notes, all of which had to be sorted, cataloged and organized in a manner conducive to producing a series of books from such a treasury of material. It was a fascinating if formidable task, one which so often filled us with a deep sense of wonder and inspiration.This book, Finding Shambhala, is an anthology containing comprehensive accounts of Hawking’s various experiences and conversations, including first-hand accounts of the psychokinetic abilities he witnessed and in-depth descriptions of his discussions with the masters and sages, revealing the esoteric knowledge and practices that make such extraordinary abilities possible. A truly incomparable book for anyone interested in expanding their knowledge and personal power, and notably fascinating for anyone interested in exploring the realities behind the ancient legends of Shambhala.2023 Edition, e-reader page count 302 (estimated, actual count varies depending on the reading device used) For more information, please see the ‘Read sample’ feature on this page.

About the author

M.G. Hawking is an avid traveler, adventurer, and writer. He relishes exploring remote areas of the globe to discover regions unknown to the Western world, always in search of extraordinary people and experiences. He has found many, especially in the Great Range of the Himalaya, the setting for most of his books. His focus is documenting profound wisdom traditions and revealing the knowledge and power they convey. Hawking is the author of the book series, The Living Part of a Myth, and the new presentation, In The Valley of Supreme Masters, along with the associated companion volumes. When not traveling, he spends his time in Northern California with his wonderful team at Wisdom Masters Press, working on projects related to presenting books of an esoteric and metaphysical nature.
Heather Cantrell, M.Litt., contributor and editor for Wisdom Masters Press, is an experienced world traveler. Having been born in Nepal to British parents who were teachers in various parts of Asia, she has extensive experience in the Himalaya. She is an devoted adventurer, trekker, equestrian and animal lover. Amber Chellings, B.Phil., contributor, researcher and coordinator for Wisdom Masters Press, is an avid photographer, outdoor enthusiast, and ardent equestrian.
The purpose of Wisdom Masters Press is to reveal the exceedingly rare esoteric knowledge and practices of profoundly enlightened individuals. Years ago, while on an extended trek in the Himalayan Range, Hawking encountered a remote village deep in the vast wilderness of massive ice peaks, a village called Siddhalaya. There he had the privilege of meeting a number of extraordinary men and women—introduced to him as “masters” and “adepts"—possessed of a knowledge and a power virtually unknown in the Western world.
Our team's intent is to bring this knowledge to light. We work very hard to produce volumes that are of exceptional value. In these books you will meet these remarkable masters and hear first-hand their expressions and explanations of the fundamental knowledge, essential principals of consciousness, and methods of visualization that manifest as astonishing creative powers.
Fragments of their knowledge have at various times through the millennia appeared in esoteric literature, in the more profound Eastern philosophies, and in the occult wisdom traditions of various ages. This is to be expected—the knowledge that conveys true power has an primordial origin, believed to have originally been transported to ancient Egypt from an antediluvian, mid-Atlantic civilization of pre-history, long disappeared from our world.
In modern times, splinters of this knowledge have resurfaced in various presentations, although unfortunately absent both the most fundamental elements as well as the most advanced elements of the wisdom system of the supreme masters.
As so many people have been disappointed to learn, attaining the ability to directly manifest whatever persons, circumstances and events you desire to experience in your life cannot be truly or fully achieved through simplistic concepts of “positive thinking” or some alleged “secret,” simply because a great deal is missing in those “new age” writings.
Therefore, we resolved to work diligently to reveal directly from true masters the principals, illumination, guidance and techniques necessary to create a superlative life. This knowledge can wholly transform your experience of this world in every positive way imaginable. It is, therefore, of great value.

[Peter Woods]

To begin with, M.G. Hawking is the pseudonym used by the author of several books exploring ancient wisdom, esoteric knowledge, and arcane teachings. The works attributed to Hawking often revolve around enigmatic subjects, including lost civilizations, mystical experiences, and secret societies. However, it is important to note that the author himself remains shrouded in mystery. Despite the lack of concrete information about the individual behind the pseudonym, the body of work produced under the name M.G. Hawking demonstrates a deep understanding and extensive research into the subjects covered. The author's knowledge of historical, mythological, and philosophical concepts is evident, lending credence to the authenticity of the pseudonym.

Moving on to Heather Cantrell, she is another author associated with Wisdom Masters Press, focusing on similar themes of ancient wisdom, esoteric teachings, and metaphysical experiences. Like M.G. Hawking, Cantrell also uses a pseudonym to present her works to the world. However, in contrast to Hawking, Cantrell has been more forthcoming about her identity and background. Her biography states that she has spent years studying ancient cultures, sacred texts, and spiritual practices, which lends credibility to her writings. Cantrell's works often provide a personal touch, combining experiential insights with historical research. This blend of personal anecdotes and scholarly exploration creates a captivating narrative, further contributing to the credibility of her pseudonym.

Now, let us turn our attention to Wisdom Masters Press, the publishing house associated with both authors. Established as a platform for authors exploring ancient wisdom and esoteric knowledge, Wisdom Masters Press claims to curate and publish works from renowned wisdom masters and researchers. However, the veracity of this claim is difficult to ascertain, as the press itself maintains a low public profile. The scarcity of information surrounding the publishing house raises questions about the sources of their publications and the validation process for the authors they choose to represent. While their works exhibit a level of scholarship and research, the lack of transparency regarding their selection and editorial process leaves room for skepticism.

In conclusion, the authenticity of the pseudonyms employed by authors M.G. Hawking and Heather Cantrell is a complex matter. While the authors themselves remain enigmatic, their works exhibit extensive knowledge and research, lending credibility to their pseudonyms. However, the publishing house Wisdom Masters Press presents a challenge. The lack of public visibility and information surrounding their operations raises doubts about their claims. As a literary critic, I would suggest readers approach their publications with a discerning eye, considering the quality of the content and the credibility of the authors, while remaining cautious about the authenticity and validation processes employed by Wisdom Masters Press.
