(As Woodstock and the Apollo moon landing lit up the skies...)
As Woodstock and the Apollo moon landing lit up the skies of history, Tal Brooke flew to New Delhi, quickly becoming immersed in the vast subcontinent of India as he pursued a radical pilgrimage of consciousness. After quickly exhausting the Grand Tour of landmarks popularized by the spiritual tourists of the West, Brooke plunged into wilderness India, and the journey shifted into high gear. From their first meeting, Brooke was heralded by Sai Baba, India's greatest miracle-working godman, as the inner-circle disciple who, like Oppenheimer at Los Alamos, would help trigger the explosion of India's ancient mystical tradition into the Western world. Within Baba's enchanted realm, Brooke saw and experienced things that seemed to obliterate all Western conceptions of reality as his journey vectored further into an alien universe. What had appeared as the prized state of godlike enlightenment, which seemed just within reach, became a precipice not of enlightenment but obliteration, even possession. Brooke was becoming a captive soul of an ancient inner transformation, while Baba's outward divinity concealed a timeless, demonic presence. After two years of surrender to a Being who claimed to be God on earth, something remarkable happened. The end-game of spiritual powers ensnaring one man's soul turned abruptly and miraculously. Poised on the edge of a precipice, Brooke was rescued from above. With hauntingly vivid images, unexpected humor, and a profound passion for truth, Brooke lays bare the powerful reality of good and evil and of things beyond the familiar realm of the senses, in a book that will not be easily forgotten.

(The "Riders of the Cosmic Circuit" are those who emerge f...)
The "Riders of the Cosmic Circuit" are those who emerge from that rare explosion into superconsciousness called enlightenment, an exalted state attained by a mere fraction down the ages. Family and friends no longer recognize them, as they have changed on a fundamental level. Claiming Godhood, they operate behind an unreadable mask, manipulating those around them who believe their claims to deity. To onlookers they have an unknowable intelligence. If enlightenment is like a black hole in deep space whose event horizon descends into blackness, what measuring stick can the normal mind use to judge those who claim to be enlightened and "One with God." How can anyone judge those who claim to be as above ordinary human consciousness as it is above the awareness level of the ant? RIDERS OF THE COSMIC CIRCUIT explores this deepest of conundrums. Something seems to possess the human hosts who have willfully abandoned the controls of their souls, wills and minds in this all out quest for Godhood. Is there a dark side to this superconsciousness and does it have motives beyond the reach of most people? Is it capable of deception and evil, and is there a pattern or map we can use to understand this alien terrain? A powerful source suggests that superconsciousness in reality is a state of perfect possession-a figure-ground reversal of all claims to Godhood. Some disturbing patterns emerge as the present quest examines some enigmatic and shrouded aspects of three of the most famous and powerful Riders of our era who have been at work in India and beyond, magnetizing followers and capturing lives.

( One World reveals why America's rapid descent is no acc...)
One World reveals why America's rapid descent is no accident and why once great liberties have been erased through staged crises . . . to bring in a New World Order. To set up this global police state there has been betrayal at the highest levels over a naïve, trusting public. One World uncovers the hidden forces behind the present sweeping changes as critical turns in history have been kept from a docile and trusting public naïvely willing to accept almost any official explanation for the nation's losses--freedoms replaced with oppressive laws; police-state surveillance over a society in fragmented disarray; a national debt higher than the nation's net worth, and a dispossessed public without the will or courage to resist. Why? To bring about a New World Order. The right trigger--such as a worldwide economic meltdown--and a single global currency could emerge, opening the way for world taxation, a world court, and world government. One World is more relevant than ever, having predicted things that seemed dubious and too wide-ranging at the time of its release but that have already come to pass! We are now in a dangerous interlude before the trap closes. If the public fails to wake up in time, it will forfeit freedoms long taken for granted. A whole way of life is at stake and time is running out. A wake-up call is the primary purpose for this book, exposing a sinister plan that will take your breath away once it comes into view.

(This is a very personal account of one man's spiritual qu...)
This is a very personal account of one man's spiritual quest. As a student Tal Brooke had sought truth in the teachings of Timothy Leary, in psychoanalysis, in mysticism and TM. He describes a climactic LSD trip; then the forces which led him to India. But the famous gurus brought disillusionment - until he met Sai Baba, miracle-worker and true 'Master.' For months the author was one of Sai Baba's closest disciples. The result is a unique first-hand description of life with him. A final shattering discovery of the true facts behind the spiritual facade broke the spell. Tal Brook left India a changed man. He had found the truth he was seeking. But the answer proved to be very different from what he had gone to find.

(To the ordinary mind, enlightenment is like a black hole ...)
To the ordinary mind, enlightenment is like a black hole in deep space where the event horizon descends into unknowable darkness. How do you judge one who claims to be as above ordinary consciousness as human consciousness towers above that of the ant? It is a mystical conundrum. This book pursues this question, examining three of the most famous Riders fo our era, Sai Baba, Muktananda, and Rajneesh, at work magnetizing followers and capturing lives.
