Humanity has been seeking to know "Who am I?" and "Why am I here?" for eons. That inquiry has lead us down infinite pathways of discovery and offered up equally diverse answers.Whereas ancient seekers either instinctively knew to venture into the realm of the inner life to discover what they sought or were guided by those who had gone before them, the demands and distractions of our modern society have conditioned us to seek the answers to such perennial questions, and to pursue our deeply held desire for a sense of meaning and purpose, through external means.While this volume is, by its very nature, an "external means," we endeavor in it to provide the reader with keys that will open a variety of gates, each of which serves as a portal to the inner life of Spirit, the "Garden of Eden". The teachings, spiritual practices and meditations found in these chapters comprise a primer, containing useful tools, offered as stepping stones that, when laid with care, will direct you along the spiritual path toward your center. Ten Gates into the Garden includes the following chapters: Concentration, The Soul, Scientific Prayer, Holistic Astrology, Meditation, Foundation Teachings, Kundalini and the Chakras, The Divinity of Destruction, Religion, and The Self.This book is of practical use for the novice, who has just begun the inner journey, as well as for those who have been on the path for some time but may have wandered off course or come up against obstacles that seem to bar the way toward further attainment. The answers we seek are always found within. Our intent is for these teachings to shed light on your inner landscape, that you may weed out what is of no use and nurture that which supports and sustains you in the process of fully awakening your consciousness, reuniting with your soul, and remembering you are Self, ever and always dwelling in the Garden.
