Excerpt from “An Affair of the Heart” a memoir by Ngeton

"This book is a brief account of my search for happiness, love, and enlightenment. I avoided nothing. I left no rock unturned. In my ignorance I thought relationships, sex, drugs, alcohol, and religion would fulfill what I was looking for. I played my part with great passion, and pursued each rainbow to its end. Gradually I came to realize the inherent suffering in all experience, because all experience is objective and at best temporary. Life is always changing, passing – impermanent. My seeking then turned from objective experience to wanting to know the truth of my being – Who am I? What is my True Nature?

I was relentless in my search.

By the Grace of God and the Wisdom of my Gurus, I awakened from the dream of life to the Truth of my Nature – Love, Bliss, Happiness it self!”
“May this brief account of my ignorance and subsequent awakening help to serve the Truth in All.” - Ngeton, 1999
