European Masters: Blueprints for Awakening

      Here’s my Amazon review of Permananda’s “Blueprints for Awakening.” It’s a wonderful book.
     Premananda has done us all a huge, huge favor in bringing all these wise guys and ladies together in this beautiful tome.(Check out the table of contents— you’ll see what a gold mine this is.)      I love this book. The physical book itself is beautifully made, yet the rainbow of contents shine even brighter. It was brought to my attention through my study of and with Rupert Spira, one of the brightest lights of our time, who is one of those interviewed. When the book arrived, I found new material from a host of my old favorite teachers and seers, and many I had yet to encounter. What a treat!
     Premananda pretty much asks the same questions of all those interviewed— which itself is very revealing– but is not rigid or insistent. He does a beautiful job of interviewing— perhaps because he himself is very clear about advaita/non-duality and teaches it in Europe. Thus, there’s material in these interviews that can be found no where else. I’m surprised there are so few reviews.
     After reading about a gazillion books in this arena, I am confident that this particular book deserves much more attention than it’s apparently getting. My advice? Buy it. Right now. You won’t be sorry. (If you are, I’ll buy your copy and send it to my own friends!)
