Muz Murray (1940) Just before his 24th birthday, an out-of-the-blue experience of Cosmic Consciousness set Muz Murray on a path of rigorous mystical research and practice that changed his life and his whole concept of existence. His books reflect the insights and personal experience of his lifelong investigation into self-realization, including NDE and Samadhi states, and offer practical methods to awakening. His findings happily coincide with the revelations of the Sages of the past, whose often obscure statements he clearly explains.

“Your writing is breath of fresh air!” says one grateful reviewer.

He began his career as a passionate surrealist painter (friendly with Salvador Dali) and became a theatrical Set & Costume Designer and actor in theatre and film and a BBC TV Scenic Artist. He was the founder-creator of the renowned "Gandalf's Garden" magazine and community in the London Sixties, becoming a British spiritual cult hero in the Flower-Power era.

Because of his 7 years of vagabondage, hitch-hiking halfway round the world—sleeping under the bridges with tramps in Paris, working as an elephant trainer (Tel Aviv) and Night-club singer (Acco); a rock-driller in King Solomon’s mines (Timna, Israeli desert); deckhand on a tramp ship, and trekking down the length of Africa (being shot at by bandits, surviving knife attacks, hold-ups, poisoned darts, and an earthquake), crossing deserts, living with the Dervishes in Turkey and Iran, living three years as a wandering monk in India, as well as clinging to the outside of an express train for 10 hours through the night—he is described in the Media as ‘the Indiana Jones of Yoga.’
