About
the cover:
This is a watercolor
I did in December 1953, of a devotee aspiring to merge into the spiritual
eye. Paramhansa Yogananda explained that the golden outer ring of the
spiritual eye vibrates with the astral universe; the blue field within
the ring, with the causal universe and the Christ Consciousness; and the
five-pointed star, with cosmic consciousness, or God the Father beyond
all vibratory creation.
