Emmanuel's Book

Whether through the written words of such beings as Lao Tzu, the Buddha, the Third Chinese Patriarch, the Christ, Kabir, Ramana Maharshi, The Baal Shem Tov, Ramakrishna, etc., or the darshans of such noble souls as Grandpa Joe of the Taos Pueblo, Ananda Mayee Ma, Kalu Rinpoche of the Kargyu Tibetan Sect, Father Demasius of the Benedictines, Lama Govinda, Sayadaw U Pandita of the Therevadans, etc., I have profited greatly. These voices of compassionate wisdom are what the Therevadan Buddhists refer to as 'Kalayan Mita' or Spiritual Friends: beings whom met along the way provide guidance and support for one's spiritual journey. Emmanuel, for me, is another of these voices. It is a priviledge to be able to introduce him to you and to share his teachings with you. I first heard Emmanuel on WBAI in New York City. Actually, I heard Pat Rodegast reporting what Emmanuel was saying. She had been in contact for some time with this being whom she referred to as Emmanuel. She could contact him at will through meditative tuning and could hear him clearly though others around her could not. To each question asked by Lex Hixon, the host of the radio program, Pat relayed Emmanuel's response. Listening to that radio show, what I was most struck by was Emmanuel's charm and old-world courtliness, his humor, eloquence, directness, 'hip'ness, and the fact that his responses evoked intuitive trust in me. By the end of the show a number of questions of both a personal and general nature had arisen in my mind and I asked Judith Stanton, who had introduced me to Emmanuel through that program, to try to arrange an interview for me with Pat and Emmanuel. The interview was held in a quiet meditative room looking out on a garden. As we settled in, Pat started a tape recorder so that I could have a record of our conversation. Pat started to describe colors which she saw as associated with me. In the middle of this description she said, Emmanuel wants to say something. He is saying. and then she reported Emmanuel's comments about the colors, and we were off an...

Introduction:
My Friend Emmanuel
 
Again and again in spiritual texts one is enjoined to seek out the company of the holy, that is those whose lives are committed to God. I, for one, readily admit that I am addicted to such beings, for reflected in them I can see the spiritual aspects of myself and of the world around me, aspects which in the marketplace are so often veiled by ‘this’ and ‘that’.
 
From my Guru, Neem Karoli Baba, I received encouragement to take teachings wherever I could find them and then to trust my intuitive heart to cull the teachings which would be useful from those which were irrelevant or potentially harmful. His support enabled me to open wide and receive rich returns from a great variety of different traditions and sources. Whether through the written words of such beings as Lao Tzu, the Buddha, the Third Chinese Patriarch, the Christ, Kabir, Ramana Maharshi, The Baal Shem Tov, Ramakrishna, etc., or the darshans of such noble souls as Grandpa Joe of the Taos Pueblo, Ananda Mayee Ma, Kalu Rinpoche of the Kargyu Tibetan Sect, Father Demasius of the Benedictines, Lama Govinda, Sayadaw U Pandita of the Therevadans, etc., I have profited greatly. These voices of compassionate wisdom are what the Therevadan Buddhists refer to as ‘Kalayan Mita’ or Spiritual Friends: beings whom met along the way provide guidance and support for one’s spiritual journey. Emmanuel, for me, is another of these voices. It is a priviledge to be able to introduce him to you and to share his teachings with you.
