ADVISORY NOTICE

This is a demanding book which should be read only by serious adults in good mental health. The description of various practices in this book does not constitute endorsement of them; most should not be undertaken without appropriate guidance; some not at all. Immature thrill-seekers should confine themselves to parachute-jumping, highspeed racing, and sex, which while not entirely safe, are more appropriate for their condition than dabbling in the occult which contains dangers for which they are developmentally unprepared.

Transcendental Meditation is mentioned favorably in this book because the author believes it is one of several pathways to enlightenment especially suitable for Westerners. This book, however, does not purport to be a treatise on Transcendental Meditation, and the views expressed herein are solely the responsibility of the author, and are not necessarily those espoused by TM. Persons interested in the practice of TM are advised to seek the help of authorized TM teachers.

The use of the name of the Creative Education Foundation on the title page of this book is a memorandum of a fact, and a courtesy to one of its colleagues; it specifically does not constitute advocacy or approval of the content or ideas found in this volume which are the sole responsibility of the author. No funds of the foundation were used to produce this book.
