"In 1929, while living in the East End of London, Maud and her husband met a young man at a local social event whom they commonly referred to as 'The Boy'. A quiet yet powerful figure who worked at the local gas works, his real name was William (Bill) Coote. 'The Boy' almost instantaneously began to channel a group of beings known as 'The Brothers' who gave profound spiritual teachings through him for the next 26 years. Maud returned to India with John Foulds and William Coote in 1935 where 'The Brothers' continued their teachings through 'The Boy', making a profound impact on thousands of people in search of spiritual meaning. John Foulds died suddenly in 1939, and Maud married 'The Boy' in 1942.
She founded an ashram and published poetry under the name Tandra Devi. She took the name Swami Omananda Puri after her husband's death when she took sannyas (or renunciation of worldly life). It was under this name that she published her autobiography of her experiences with 'The Boy' in The Boy and the Brothers (London: Gollancz, 1959). A second book was posthumously published as Towards the Mysteries (London: Neville Spearman, 1968) which further expanded on The Brothers' teachings and message. Her papers are now held at the Borthwick Institute for Archives at the University of York."

Designed as a manual, this book describes a systematic process to awaken third eye. It has been written for those who cannot be satisfied with only an intellectual understanding of spiritual realities, and who wish to gain access to direct experience.
The development of spiritual vision requires the patient building of some new 'organs' of energy, of which the third eye is an essential member. These new structures are no physical, nevertheless they are very tangible. Once fully developed, the perceptions coming through them appear clearer, sharper and far more substantial than those coming from the physical senses.
This approach always emphasizes the superiority of experience over mental concepts, of first-hand knowledge over belief. Therefore, the reader is not asked to believe what is written here, but to practice the exercises.
The techniques described in this book include:
* a progressive method to develop clairvoyance and subtle perception.
*psychic sleep
*tuning on the third eye with babies
*perceiving and freeing energy circulations in the meridians
*several techniques to enhance daily awareness and presence.
These techniques have been designed for people who are part of the world. They do not invite you to withdraw from your daily activities, but to start performing them with a different awareness and a new vision, in order to achieve an integration of spiritual practice into all aspects of life.
The author, Dr. Samuel Sagan is a director of the Clairvision School, which deals with spiritual development in line with the western tradition of esoteric knowledge.
