Urban Mystic, Discovering the Transcendent Through Everyday Life (Book)

Urban Mystic has been ranked as one of the top five in the Spirituality category of the 2010 New Generation Indie Book Awards 2010.
Discovering the transcendent through everyday life.

Written in the first person, Urban Mystic is an intimate account of a variety of experiences that contributed to Ken's awakening. He writes with great candour about his reactions, understanding, mistakes and insights. As he says, in the prologue, he's an ordinary bloke, and his very ordinariness shines through, offering encouragement to others to persist in their efforts to make the most of themselves and their lives.

The book includes encounters with many different mentors and teachers, who operated in a wide variety of fields. It is engaging and exciting - a real page-turner. The events take place in Australia, India, UK, Switzerland, Gemany and United States.

It is filled with anecdotes, inspirational passages, moving encounters and transcendent experiences. They all reflect the breadth and depth of Ken's international life experience. His entertaining stories are about his time when sailing, the challenges of learning social work, his excitement about Transactional Analysis, his innovative approaches to psychotherapy with schizophrenic people, the surprises in store for him from energy healing, his years of teaching and training, and many wonderful incidents with four highly awakened spiritual masters. And there are more.

Very significantly, his commitment to complete awakening and realisation took him both into wonderful transcendence and into profoundily demanding experiences. These included coping with deeply troubling relationships with clients, facing life-threatening illness and what happened as he finally emerged into the sun of spiritual awakening.

Ken Mellor -- Urban Mystic: Discovering the Transcendent through Everyday

Life is the fascinating story of the life path that led the author to become a spiritual mentor and master.

Ken Mellor had a life-changing experience at the age of 13, something he describes as "a few seconds of inner beauty."

Little did he realize that those few seconds carved out his destiny and took him to places he never dreamt he would go, and in those places were people who helped shape the person he was to become. His journey takes him to Australia, India, England, Switzerland, Germany and the United States where he learns life lessons and gains spiritual guidance from a Siddha Master, Tantric Master, Vedic Master, and a Divine Mother.

This first-person narrative reads like an intimate journal, filled with anecdotes that present the daily wonder of embracing life fully. He describes how every event in our lives can show the clear path toward what to do next in order to advance in spiritual awakening. His encouraging and entertaining prose is meant to educate the reader, subtly and lovingly, toward his/her own expanded understanding and awakening, and of their own unique destiny.

This intriguing and compelling narrative prompts self-discovery and offers inspiration to dwell in the moment in order to awaken the soul to extraordinary transformations. Learn to celebrate how new beginnings, hopes, dreams, successes, mistakes, and challenges are all part of your own unique destiny.
