From the Foreword by Alan Cohen:

"The lessons here in Mastering Life keep pointing us back to the simplicity of loving. We find ourselves in a world where complexity seems to pull us from joy at every turn. Simply holding the consciousness of love will open doors that anxious striving cannot. Behold the answer that sooths, heals, uplifts and changes the world, beginning with ourselves.

"Take your time as you stroll through these insightful pages. Absorb the words and images and make them your own. While they seem to be teaching you, they are really reminding you of what you know deep inside your heart. Then bring the principles to life in your own unique way and enjoy the blessings they deliver."

'If you try to calm [the mind], it only makes it worse, but over time it does calm, and when it does, there's room to hear more subtle things that's when your intuition starts to blossom and you start to see things more clearly and be in the present more. Your mind just slows down, and you see a tremendous expanse in the moment. You see so much more than you could see before. It's a discipline, you have to practise it.' Steve Jobs

"Keys To Spiritual Being" is a two-part manual of meditation exercises designed to give the individual the ability to come to a higher state of spiritual awareness and development. The first book-"Energy Meditation," presents the premise that one begins a transformational process through the infusion of biopsychic energy. Through the application of Ravarour's Energy Meditation exercises, one activates and magnifies the biopsychic energy potential within the individual; coming to an inner path of higher consciousness eventually leading to transformation through one's own sensorial awareness and growth. The second book-"Synchronization Exercises," presents a series of exercises which when practiced enables couples the ability to unite at the deepest levels of spirit, mind, and being. These exercises allow the advanced practitioner to synchronize the various chakras within the body with his or her mate, thus being able to co-create a harmonization between each other-a unity of heart, feeling, mind, and soul. Originally created by Adrian Ravarour, Ph. D. in the 1960's, this new and revised text provides the necessary instruction on how to focus one's energy to activate the intuition, initiate an internal dialogue with the mind and spirit, and stimulate transformation in the self and each other-a unification of heart, feeling, mind, and soul. Visionary philosopher and author Dr, Jose Arguelles-Valum Votan writes that "the purpose of Ravarour's Energy Meditation / Biopsychic Energy Exercises is for you-the individual, to be able to channel and recognize the biopsychic energy emitted by your organism. The value of these exercises is that they are practical and anyone can do them."
