Buch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - Lionel Maithri was born in Sri Lanka and even as a child had a burning desire to understand the meaning of everything he saw. At the age of seven he had a cosmic consciousness experience, which implanted in him a source of inner energy to find answers to all his questions. His life was completely changed by this experience, but he was frustrated at that time by his inability to verbalize what he experienced. This seventh year epiphany was followed by a number of spiritual experiences, for ex ample during his solitary meditations while in Africa he felt the activation of Kundalini energy with the progressive opening of his seven energy centers or Chakras. Later in life while on retirement in California he had a remarkable Near Death Expe rience in 1993 during a by-pass surgery. Details of these experiences and their impact on his life are described in this book.
