Why 'Mystic'?
I chose this, with humbleness, because it best described the way I went about my search for the truth which, as set out in my dictionary, is a system of contemplative prayer and spirituality aimed at achieving direct intuitive experience of the divine. As I have had no 'system' as such I would change the word 'system' to 'attitude' or 'state'.
I follow a philosophy that has neither label nor limits.A Quotation (This is you too, dear reader, so visualise each line carefully):
As the droplet is to the ocean,
I am.
As the lick of flame is to the fire,
I am.
As the sunbeam is to sunlight,
I am.
As the Great Spirit is,
I am.See Also: Click

About me? This is not something I like to do but, since I ought to say something, let me say that underlying my “earth life” [this time around] has obviously been the impetus to seek the Truth and this search has resulted in a book which I have now released, free, on the Web. {See below} I suppose the book, as a whole, tells more about me than I could but the Preface and the two articles entitled Authorship of This Material in Part Two will shed more light relative to me and its contents.
When I first wrote Part One of the book in 1996 I had a mental picture of my having in my hands a beautiful, white, fantail pigeon which I released, with my hands going upwards, to fly free and land where it would. When friends helped me on to the Internet the opportunity to make that mental picture a reality was realised.
Although I do not consider myself an important person I am an open person, so if anyone has any questions they would like to ask regarding me I am quite happy to answer!
However, I point to the title page of the book wherein is this statement: Ignore the messenger - heed the message!
Words I use: If you come across any strange words in what I write please go to my blog 'New Words Coined'.
DONATIONS: Please see my blog for reasons.
I was born in Sri Lanka and moved to Australia in 1969.
and
please feel free to ask questions, seek clarification etc. about anything I have written or will write.
THE MILK IS WHITE
Over two thousand years ago a Hindu sage said that, irrespective of the colour of the cow, the milk is white. He was alluding to the fact that there is but one spiritual Truth irrespective of which Master expounds it. This book brings together the essence of the teachings of the major spiritual Masters and shows how the Truth embodied in these teachings can be applied in one's life to achieve peace and joy.Read more > http://www.themilkiswhite.com/
To me it was so clear, concise, accurate and easy to digest. I was most impressed. I felt it was a great feat and a real contribution to this needy world. I felt clarity as I was reading it. I love the book and enjoy its gentleness too.
**********
I have come across a lot of this information scattered here and there but this book brings it together very well. I am glad I bought it.
**********
A book of great Truths, told simply as only a man with such rich experiences and insights could. A beautiful, distilled message.
**********
What a pleasure to read such a beautiful book written by a friend. A personal story that somehow resembles my truth.
**********
This book has helped me immensely in my search for spirituality, understanding and wisdom.

Ian's Note: I have also had some feedback like “I could not understand a thing!”; “It went straight over my head!” as well as crashing silence!.
