Returning to Goloka
The Earth is on course for an Extinction Level Event (ELE) that will cause massive global destruction and loss of life for more than 90% of the world’s population. The scientific and circumstantial evidence is overwhelming that such an event is on the horizon, and we would be wrong to ignore it when there is a viable solution for comfortable survival and prosperity. This book is for those who are destined to reach the other side of this disaster and be among the first generation of a world that will literally be the start of a new age for Mankind.

I was amazed by the experience, and for the first time I knew that<br />
Maharishi's Guru Dev was real.<br />
Toward the end of the four-month TTC Phase One course, I got the<br />
brilliant idea that maybe Maharishi would let us continue on <strong>to</strong> Phase Three<br />
and skip Phase Two. Phase One is where you learn <strong>to</strong> give an introduc<strong>to</strong>ry<br />
lecture and check meditation, Phase Two is where you work for a year or<br />
more in a TM center and prove yourself worthy of Phase Three. Phase Three<br />
is where you learn the puja and how <strong>to</strong> teach TM. Thanks <strong>to</strong> my boundless<br />
arrogance, I wanted <strong>to</strong> ask Maharishi if this Phase One (because we were so<br />
“special”) could skip Phase Two and go straight in<strong>to</strong> Phase Three.<br />
The course leaders seemed horrified at the notion and at first refused<br />
<strong>to</strong> ask. But I rallied some support among the other participants, found a small<br />
group that pledged <strong>to</strong> continue if permitted and the course leaders finally<br />
relented and sent a message <strong>to</strong> Maharishi. He responded that we could! The<br />
course ended and a few others and I stayed on <strong>to</strong> start the Phase Three course;<br />
another four months. In all I was at Livings<strong>to</strong>n Manor from January 11, 1981<br />
<strong>to</strong> Oc<strong>to</strong>ber 1, 1981 and became a teacher on September 27, 1981 in a very<br />
special meeting during which I met Maharishi for the first time on the<br />
pranamaya kosha level.<br />
By the end of TTC I had realized that Guru Dev was absolutely alive in<br />
consciousness and could be communicated with as well! This was quite a<br />
realization for me, being pragmatic by nature. It is one thing <strong>to</strong> have<br />
knowledge about something and another <strong>to</strong> realize something. For years I had<br />
known such things were possible and had read about this type of experience,<br />
but now it was my reality.<br />
