In a few hours, I had such a powerful opening of the Third Eye that I had hemorrhages in the skin around my eyes. I looked like a raccoon. The beam of light entering my forehead was incredibly powerful and literally left marks on my skin.

The following day,I could see a small golden Buddha sitting between my chest and my lower abdomen. I finally met my soul. I knew who I really was.

Soon after, I went to the state of full cosmic consciousness. My soul left my body and traveled between star systems.

Over those two days, my perception of spiritual practice totally changed. I realized what was missing. The part that was so necessary, yet so elusive, and had been impossible for me to gain without the presence of an exceptional master.

What I was missing was Presence. What I was missing was Divine Love and Light. Throughout my life, I had meditated many hours, studied many books, and practiced diligently for years, but that all was just preparation. Once I was in the incredibly powerful spiritual field of Master Sha, my full opening happened within hours.

In October, 2000, when I left him, I was totally changed. I had received the connection to the Divine realm and, from that time on, my meditations were at a completely different level.

Any time I would start chanting a mantra, the flood of light would immediately envelope me. I was able to harness the light with such intensity that it was literally blinding. Over the next several months, my entire being began to transform.
