I was surfing the internet one night and found a movie on a spiritual journey titled Dreams Awake.      I ordered it and when it arrived, I watched over half of it and was not impressed.  No new information, nothing I didn't already know.  So it was several weeks later when I finished watching the movie.  But my interest was piqued when, near the end, the subject of tinnitus was broached.

At the end of the movie there was the normal credits and also something to the effect that this was only the beginning of the journey.  They instructed the viewer to go to such and such website to continue the journey and to use the key on the inside of the movie jacket.  I opened the jacket and sure enough there was a key code there.  So I visited the site.

It is all about tinnitus being a pathway to enlightenment.

I've had tinnitis since as far back as I can remember.  The older I get the louder the ringing in my ears gets.  There are times when I can't hear what someone is saying because the ringing is so loud.

On this website someone has transcribed the journal by a young man who is an archaeologist and his wife is an anthropologist who work at  numerous ancient archaeological sites in the Middle East in the mid 1930's.  He is given a book by a Middle Eastern man one day to read titled The Path of the Masters by Julian Johnson.

I looked up the book and found it isn't cheap but managed to secure one that wasn't to expensive.  When I got the book I noticed that there weren't many copies in circulation.  As if the first printing in 1939 it has had 16 printings as of this edition in 1997.  There were only a total 100,000 copies printed.

The author Julian Johnson, aka Radha Soami Satsang Beas is a student of an Indian Master, Majarah Sawan Singh.  It is an easy read book, not at all hard to understand to which I am thankful.
