Peter’s Comments (group member since Mar 09, 2014)

Peter’s comments from the Ask Peter Mt. Shasta group.

I'm open to any questions about the path taught by the Masters.

Good questions. It's all a dream whose dreamer is God. Nonetheless, we need to take action in the maya we have taken on. The external suffering is the fire that burns up the illusion that we are separate from the Source. So, on one hand the suffering was necessary; however, from my current perspective, once you know who you are, nothing seems necessary. We play this game with ourselves--our own lila. Ha, what a joke!

God is love, love, love....!

Thanks, Aaron, but if I do that I will take up more space than they allow here; and then you will want me to upload a new edition. I will say that there is a correction: the young Harikhan Baba (who attracted many Americans) died, not in 1974, but in 1984. That was an error made by the typist (me), as I have 1984 in my notes. I should say that in the lives of almost every guru I spent time with, there are aspects of their existence which seem incompatible with "spiritual truth." It is important to get beyond those seeming inconsistencies, and look at what they actually offered of benefit.

Please feel free to ask anything about "Search for the Guru," just being released. This is the prequel to "Adventures of a Western Mystic: Apprentice to the Masters." Both books will be republished in India as a 2-volume autobiography this year.

This volume chronicles my childhood, spiritual awakening, life in the Woodstock Generation, adventures with Ram Dass, Maharajji, Sai Baba, Trungpa Rinpoche and many other saints and gurus. Of course, the ultimate Guru is within yourself!
