Book Description

May 6, 2003

Seven Masters, One Path brings together the seven primary practices of the world’s most revered spiritual masters -- Krishnamurti, Lao-tzu, Buddha, Jesus, Mohammed, Gurdjieff, and Patanjali -- in one simple yet complete program. Finally everyone who wants to learn how to meditate, or to deepen their meditation practice, can turn to one comprehensive guidebook that leads readers gently yet surely into experiencing the seven universal dimensions of daily meditation practice.

Seven Masters, One Path guarantees access to deep meditative experience for people seeking relief from emotional and mental stress, and especially for anyone who longs to experience a deeper sense of connection with our spiritual core. No matter how divergent all the theologies, philosophies, rituals, and dogmas of the world’s great meditative traditions might appear, John Selby reveals that the underlying intent of the original masters was remarkably similar -- to help people to point their attention toward regular contact with the divine, through opening hearts and souls to direct communion with God by whatever name.

Offering one meditation each from the seven teachers, Seven Masters, One Path emphasizes the commonalities in the diverse traditions, ultimately providing a unique and accessible meditation program that anyone can master.

More About the Author

I'm of cattle ranching origins in California and Arizona, one of the few remaining people who actually did the work of a cowboy while growing up - not so glamorous actually. I was eager to head back east to Princeton - and from then on it was non-stop change ... government-funded psychedelic research in the late sixties ... meditation exploration and working as a therapist in the seventies ... loads of trips south into Indian realms where I felt most at home. Then Europe in the eighties where I found people seriously eager to plunge into the deeper mind-management methods I'd been developing.

After a number of fulfilling and enlightening but not-quite-right relationships, finally the love of my life appeared at 37 ... and then off we went to Hawaii to start a family (most fulfilling of all) and go deeper into my own explorations. Now our boys are grown and living in California, and after almost 20 years here in paradise, Birgitta and I are getting set to also move to California so as to be more plugged in doing seminars etc, with three new books coming out this new year.

During the last decade I've been finalizing my life work in developing short-form meditation' techniques and Focus Phrase methods for quickly quieting the mind and shifting into present-moment full engagement. Quite a number of books have emerged along the way - and now Birgitta and I are producing special 'experiential video' programs that in and of themselves, awaken a meditative present-moment quality of consciousness.

Mr. Selby has brought together the worlds great wisdom traditions and methods in a very accessible, enjoyable book.

5.0 out of 5 stars FINALLY MEDITATION THAT WORKS, May 30, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Seven Masters, One Path: Meditation Secrets from the World's Greatest Teachers (Hardcover)
I have read several other books by this wonderful, soulful author, and always with very satisfied results. John Selby doesn't just "talk about" meditation here, this book is extremely pragmatic, and a pleasure. Even by the end of the Introduction you already know how to do the first step in his meditation. This is for me the complete meditation program I've been looking for. Selby has brought together the basic psychological process of all the world's great meditation traditions, into a format that fits into my life. There are even 4-minute meditations here, for when you're right in the middle of the day and need to cool - this is just great! And the online audio support ... - a godsend. Thanks to John for finally making meditation a deep part of my life! Sandra

5.0 out of 5 stars John Selby - Master of Understanding the Power of Meditation, June 4, 2003
By 
Chris Geissler (Madison, Wisconsin USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Seven Masters, One Path: Meditation Secrets from the World's Greatest Teachers (Hardcover)
John has collected the most powerful meditation methods of 7 of the most influencial and spiritual humans to ever walk the earth plane. My hat is off to him. His wisdom and insight is astounding and it is criticle that we use the methods he provide to assist us in finding inner peace in a world so dark and negative. I ordered his meditation CD's from his website and wish the post office would hurry up, I can hardly wait. God bless you John! And thank you a hundred times a hundred times.
