The Last Teacher: Saints, Demons and Self-discovery on the Spiritual Path Michael L. Dales

The pursuit of spiritual realization is no longer solely the domain of the yogi who sits in a lonely cave in the Himalayas, or the monk who lives an utterly spotless life behind monastery walls. This is a story of awakening, told by an American whose journey took him from India to Bali and back home to himself. Michael was a seeker who explored India with world-renowned teacher Amma, then came face to face with demons at the side of a modern-day Balinese energy master. Along the way he experienced revelations that he once thought were only available to the spiritual recluse. This tale offers some extraordinary glimpses of the Reality that is hidden behind the mundane world?a Reality that is available to anyone. Both the novice seeker and the long-time practitioner of any spiritual discipline will find this genuine account of life on the mystical road entertaining, accessible, and inspiring.
