M.G. Hawking is an avid traveler, adventurer, and writer. He relishes exploring remote areas of the globe to discover regions unknown to the Western world, always in search of extraordinary people and experiences. He has found many, especially in the Great Range of the Himalaya, the setting for most of his books. His focus is documenting profound wisdom traditions and revealing the knowledge and power they convey. Hawking is the author of the book series, The Living Part of a Myth, and the new presentation, In The Valley of Supreme Masters, along with the associated companion volumes. When not traveling, he spends his time in Northern California with his wonderful team at Wisdom Masters Press, working on projects related to presenting books of an esoteric and metaphysical nature. Heather Cantrell, M.Litt., contributor and editor for Wisdom Masters Press, is an experienced world traveler. Having been born in Nepal to British parents who were teachers in various parts of Asia, she has extensive experience in the Himalaya. She is an devoted adventurer, trekker, equestrian and animal lover. Amber Chellings, B.Phil., contributor, researcher and coordinator for Wisdom Masters Press, is an avid photographer, outdoor enthusiast, and ardent equestrian. The purpose of Wisdom Masters Press is to reveal the exceedingly rare esoteric knowledge and practices of profoundly enlightened individuals. Years ago, while on an extended trek in the Himalayan Range, Hawking encountered a remote village deep in the vast wilderness of massive ice peaks, a village called Siddhalaya. There he had the privilege of meeting a number of extraordinary men and women—introduced to him as “masters” and “adepts"—possessed of a knowledge and a power virtually unknown in the Western world. Our team's intent is to bring this knowledge to light. We work very hard to produce volumes that are of exceptional value. In these books you will meet these remarkable masters and hear first-hand their expressions and explanations of the fundamental knowledge, essential principals of consciousness, and methods of visualization that manifest as astonishing creative powers. Fragments of their knowledge have at various times through the millennia appeared in esoteric literature, in the more profound Eastern philosophies, and in the occult wisdom traditions of various ages. This is to be expected—the knowledge that conveys true power has an primordial origin, believed to have originally been transported to ancient Egypt from an antediluvian, mid-Atlantic civilization of pre-history, long disappeared from our world. In modern times, splinters of this knowledge have resurfaced in various presentations, although unfortunately absent both the most fundamental elements as well as the most advanced elements of the wisdom system of the supreme masters. As so many people have been disappointed to learn, attaining the ability to directly manifest whatever persons, circumstances and events you desire to experience in your life cannot be truly or fully achieved through simplistic concepts of “positive thinking” or some alleged “secret,” simply because a great deal is missing in those “new age” writings. Therefore, we resolved to work diligently to reveal directly from true masters the principals, illumination, guidance and techniques necessary to create a superlative life. This knowledge can wholly transform your experience of this world in every positive way imaginable. It is, therefore, of great value.
