The internal shift that she experienced there was profound and set her and her husband on a new course of human development, which lead them to India where she was to meet and become a disciple of Bhagwan/Osho. The sudden, unexpected death of her husband marked a turning point for Turiya and deeply influenced her own personal search and how she works with people today. In this interview she talks honestly and openly about her life and her spiritual journey.

Author of 'Lucid Dreaming - Gateway To The Inner Self', Robert talks about his early dream experiences and how he discovered Lucid Dreaming after reading Carlos Castaneda.

It can clearly show shadow issues and the limiting nature of self-attachments and may lead to an experience of non-dual awareness. He says: "Something pre-exists the sense of self. The making of the 'I' is a mistaken perception, the source of a whole series of errors."
Richard is author of 'The World Is My Mirror' recently published on Non-Duality Press. Blue's book is coming out in Spring 2013 on Hay House and is called Soul Plan: Reconnect With Your True Life Purpose.'
