We planned this book as a Festschrift for Smitty Stevens because we
thought he might be retiring around 1974, although we knew very
well that only death or deep illness would stop Smitty from doing
science. Death came suddenly, unexpectedly - after a full day of
skiing at Vail, Colorado on the annual trip with wife Didi to the
Winter Conference on Brain Research. Smitty liked winter
conferences near ski resorts and often tried to get us other
psychophysicists to organize one. Every person is unique. Smitty
would have said it's mainly because each of us has so many genes
that two combinations just alike would be well-nigh impossible. But
most of us strive in many ways to be like others, and to abide by
the norms (some smaller number try even harder to be unlike other
people); as a result many persons seem to lose their uniqueness,
their individuality. Not Smitty. He tried neither to be like others
nor to be different. He took himself as he found himself, and
ascribed peculiarities, strengths, and weaknesses to his pioneering
Utah forebears, in whom he took much pride. His was the true and
right nonconformity. He approached each task, each problem, ready
to grapple with the facts and set them into meaningful order. And
if the answer he came up with was different from everyone else's,
well that was too bad.

This is not your ordinary Kriya book It includes all the techniques
from several different main-line Kriya schools, the full 7 steps of
Lahiri's Kriya, the 1930's version of Swami Yogananda's Kriya and
other lineages. Every piece of material that could possibly assist
in helping you maximize results from your Kriya practice is in this
workbook. This material has been carefully crafted to protect
anonymous sources and to respect all copyrights. It is,
essentially, a synthesis of every possible concept or technique,
which will help you understand Kriya yoga as never before. All the
material used here has been meticulously arranged into lessons with
step-by-step instructions, including quotes from Lahiri Mahasaya,
which have been freshly translated into an easy-to-understand
style. New graphics have also been devised to better help explain
the techniques. In addition to exacting instruction in various
Kriya techniques, the book also discusses the theory and philosophy
of Shyama Charan Lahiri, in order to help you get to the core of
the Kriya yoga philosophy. From beginning to end, it was written in
order to help you break free from anything hindering your Kriya
practice. If you are already a member of an existing Kriya
organization, the information in this book may surprise you or even
challenge your beliefs. Please understand that I am simply relaying
the complete path of Kriya, techniques and philosophy exactly as I
believe that the originator, Lahiri Mahasaya, understood it. To
this end, I researched every possible source and compiled it,
saving you the time of endlessly seeking and deciphering
instructions from different Kriya schools, which are spread across
all corners of the Earth. Some people may ask, "How does this book
differ from that information presented on various websites?" It
isn't the fact that some of this information could not be found in
other places. That could be said of any book. However, this book
saves you the time of finding, collecting and deciphering this
information for yourself. It is a self-contained workbook.
Everything you need to achieve the highest goals of Kriya is in
this book. Here is what some people are saying: "Just received my
book yesterday, and so far I am really enjoying it. I had a hard
time putting it down last night and ended up staying up a lot later
than I should have. I have a feeling It's going to be another late
night tonight." - M.B. "I took delivery of your book yesterday and
would like to thank you for collating this information from various
sources. ... In summary, thank you for your book. I am impressed by
both the content and the presentation." - Doctor M.
