<p>A mysterious meeting in a lift in Oslo (1973) heralded the beginning of a series of mystical experiences that were linked to a process of inner transformation. After several years of practising meditation in daily life inspired by the teaching of J. Krishnamurti, one night a powerful force entered my body. It &#39;hollowed me out&#39; resulting in a permanent shift of consciousness into the present moment. The observer and the observed had merged, self-reflection and emotional feedback had ceased. I was left feeling annihilated.</p><p>I searched for answers in spiritual literature but found that the teachings of Buddhism and Christianity tended to focus on the actual practices rather than what can occur as a result of these practices. Nine years later a powerful force ascended through my body and I was released into a state of Pure awareness. A channel was opened for the inflow of Divine Light - a Light that purges, purifies, illuminates and sanctifies.</p><p>The world at large needs to rediscover and redefine the spiritual dimension, to inform science, education, politics etc. My mystical experiences revealed the need for a revival of the contemplative dimension of scripture including the chakra system. I sense a certain urgency to respond to this need and hope that my own story can contribute to a better understanding of what the spiritual journey entails when transformation happens at a cellular level.</p>
