Book excerpt: Yogananda, Gurdjieff, Jung & I AM: My Adventures in Life and Consciousness is John Maxwell Taylor’s wild romp through sixty years of consciousness-raising meditation to find bliss, joy, happiness, and our true nature as humans… Are you ready to join him on this journey? Inspired by yogi Paramahansa Yogananda, spiritual teacher G. I. Gurdjieff, and mystical psychologist Carl Jung, John Maxwell considers himself a rock ’n’ roll mystic, who came to spirituality when he was a singer/guitarist in the 1960s. As flashy as was his life then, so was his spiritual transformation: for a moment, the world literally disappeared in the light of God. In an engaging style, with thrills and humor sprinkled throughout, John Maxwell invites the reader to become emotionally connected not just with him through his autobiography but with themselves. He offers his own life lessons that can be applied immediately to readers’ own lives so that they too can fulfill their destiny. Unlike most Western self-help books that preach thinking about concepts, John Maxwell offers a more truthful path forward into enlightenment: feeling through direct experience.
