Synopsis

“I Don’t Know...I Love” was the mantra given to Michael by his spiritual guide Neem Karoli Baba (Maharaji). It is an ogy of his life long struggle to raise his consciousness and daily work from rational knowledge of the world and his professional practice of psychological therapy to loving kindness for everyone he meets, with his daily work meditation and spiritual practice.
This book is a journal of Michael Projansky’s life voyages on land and sea. Chapters on iting dying people with a dedicated Hospice doctor, and surviving a 2,750 mile sailing trip across the Atlantic with three drunken Englishmen, were written years ago by the author himself. The rest of this book contains remarkable stories told by Projansky to his many friends, two of whom wrote them down in June and July of 2019, so that this book could be published quickly before he died. He wanted to see it and give it to family and friends at his memorial service. 

A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

When Michael Projansky was seven years old in 1946, he had a very strong feeling that he was born to love all human beings. He also had a clear vision of a wise man up in the clouds, whom he did not discover until 20 years later was Maharaji -- his spiritual guide for the rest of his life. After graduating from Antioch College in 1962 and earning his PhD in Clinical Psychology at Adelphi University in 1966, he taught psychology at Southampton College on Long Island for two years, getting married in 1968 and raising three daughters. He lived at the Lama Foundation, an intentional spiritual community near Taos, New Mexico, from 1971 to 1973 with his wife Ananda, and then became teaching assistant to Ram Dass in the first summer of Chogyam Trungpa Rimpoche's Naropa Institute at Boulder, Colorado, in 1974. Projansky made one trip to India in 1976, having remarkable experiences, some of which are described in this book. After practicing psychological therapy in the New Paltz, New York, area, he worked for ten years in the Caribbean as a bare boat skipper and boat delivery captain. He spent his next 20 years sailing a 38-foot yacht for a wealthy New York businessman from Nova Scotia to the Caribbean from 1997 to 2017, when his rare ALS disease stopped his sailing and he moved into the Woodland Pond nursing facility in New Paltz. There he charmed all the nurses and a steady stream of visiting friends, and explored for himself the space between life and death in a calm state of curiosity about his next voyage.
