The Highest Adventureon attaining a ‘realization’ of our inherent oneness
with God (actually, an understanding that we are
God). God was referred to as ‘the Great Computer’
into which the right mechanical mantra must
be ‘inserted’ in order to bring forth the desired
results. That clearly threw the responsibility
on seekers to use the right esoteric methods in
order to successfully ascend to higher realms of
consciousness.
With his full beard, long black hair, and intense
dark eyes, this teacher of Far Eastern mysticism
was somewhat imposing and quite convincing.
However, it was much more than the mystique
surrounding this tall, turban clad Sikh that at-
tracted followers. It was more than the passion
he seemed to display concerning his beliefs. It
was more than just the stimulus of a new and
intriguing approach to spirituality.
It was the promise that we could personally
penetrate the supernatural realm and experience
ultimate reality ourselves. This drew me to Yogi
Bhajan’s words and to the spiritual discipline he
was propagating (Kundalini Yoga, also known as
“The Yoga of Awareness”).
