Some years ago, on an extended trek through an isolated inner region of the vast wilderness of the Great Himalayan Range, explorer M.G. Hawking chanced upon an unexpected find. In a majestic valley entirely surrounded by towering ice peaks, he encountered a beautiful small village. In that community, called Siddhalaya by its residents, Hawking had the privilege of meeting a number of truly extraordinary men and women. This encounter marked the beginning of sixty-two months Hawking spent in the Himalayan regions of Nepal and Tibet, during which time he kept detailed records of his adventures, experiences, and conversations with these highly enlightened individuals.
Over the past several years the team at Wisdom Masters Press, in association with Hawking, has worked diligently to compose a series of books based on his journals and field notes. This was at times a daunting assignment. Hawking had accumulated over 14,000 pages of hand-written journal notes, along with another 4,500 pages of field notes, all of which had to be sorted and cataloged. It was a fascinating if formidable task, one that could not have been accomplished without the assistance and encouragement of some of the extraordinary individuals Hawking met in the Himalayas, all of whom you will meet in the pages of our books.
From the Author: “The knowledge of the masters I met in Siddhalaya is an intensely profound thing that one hopes will have relevance to others, will offer them insight and guidance, will greatly expand their knowledge and power, will be validated by their experience, or, at the very least, will stimulate them to search further on their own. The philosophy expressed by the masters reflects as well a broader social context, the search within our own culture at this particular stage of its development, a widely emerging pattern of a seeking for direction in the Universe–a reawakening of a quest begun thousands of years ago, one that goes further back than even the roots of religion–the search for a reconnection with our origins in the Cosmos that gave rise to us and within which we continue the creation of our individual lives and the mass co-creation of the world in which we live. There are no words adequate to express my respect for those remarkable masters who gave to me, an amateur, so lavishly of their time and knowledge. They appeared to be grateful to see their efforts aided by one who loves life and wisdom enough to permit him to illustrate their teachings, and to pour warmth and blood into their highly elevated knowledge.” –M.G. Hawking
About this Book: We begin this volume with a reading list and descriptions of our books, followed by a comprehensive set of excerpts taken directly from the archived field notes and journals of explorer M.G. Hawking’s five years in Nepal and Tibet. These excerpts contain detailed narratives of Hawking’s various experiences and conversations, including first-hand accounts of the psychokinetic abilities Hawking witnessed, and in-depth descriptions of the esoteric knowledge that made such extraordinary abilities possible.
