About the Author

At the age of seventeen, Norman Paulsen's search for God led him to join the monastery of Paramahansa Yogananada, where he received instruction in an ancient technique of meditation and began to become conscious of the presence of Divine Spirit. As related in his autobiography, "The Christ Consciousness," his continued efforts produced a face to face meeting with that Being of Light called I Am That I Am, Christ. Mr. Paulsen was directed to teach others what he has learned, and he is still doing so today.

5.0 out of 5 stars Yogananda's kriya yoga explained in detail, February 20, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Sacred Science : Meditation, Transformation, Illumination (Hardcover)

Paulsen lays out the technique of kriya yoga as taught to him by Paramahansa Yogananda. The method is made plain sans correspondence courses and elaborate barriers to initiation. And the method is the most fulfilling and potent system of meditation I've found, after twenty years of experimenting with other techniques. If you read Autobiography of A Yogi and wanted to learn kriya but never got around to it, this is the book for you.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good starter book, January 21, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Sacred Science : Meditation, Transformation, Illumination (Hardcover)

I've been doing meditation on and off for a while now, with various techniques and durations, with no unusual results (yes, yes, I understand that the meditation is a gradual process and it's misguided to expect instant, especially physical, results, but...) The very day I got I got this book I read it, and tried the technique it mentions and much to my surprise, it elicited a pretty powerful vibrational state that I had only once experienced before. I tried the technique again the next day and found that it worked again. This technique also gave me the ability to focus (no other method I've used before did that)! It's only been a couple days since I've had the book, so it's hard to say how far this technique will take me, but it definitely seems to be a good start. Surely, there are more Kriya Yoga techniques out there-- I'm joining SRF to learn them-- this book has a simple technique that got me started on something good.

5.0 out of 5 stars Inspirational, Contemplative and Beautiful!, March 4, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Sacred Science : Meditation, Transformation, Illumination (Hardcover)

Norman Paulsen, ordained in Kriya Yoga by his teacher Paramahansa Yogananda, writes about his direct experiences of cosmic consciousness. Through his profound experiences and the unfolding of their mysteries, Paulsen shares so humbly in this book and the accompanying video, Sacred Science of Meditation his realizations of the cosmology of the creation and the existence of the sacred cosmic forces of I Am That I Am.
I have found that the path of right living described in this book has helped me find that place of stillness within me, that seat of intuition, that place that Jesus said, "Be still and know that I Am God." But most of all, with diligent practice and great desire, I have experienced that pearl of great price about which Norman speaks, that briliance of God entering into me and changing my life forever. If this is what you are looking for, this book and video can be a valuable tool to you in whaterver religious practice you pursue.
Norman's life demonstrates that the realizations and teachings of Kriya are not limited to just one group. Nor can God be institutionalized.
Paulsen's fearlessness and courage are a contribution to all humanity, and toward religious tolerance and God realization, subjects his beloved teacher Yogananda strongly pursued..
