At a distance of 20 centuries, the figure of Jesus of Nazareth can seem impossibly obscure - indeed, some skeptics even question whether he existed. And yet we have an eyewitness account of his life, death, and resurrection from one of his closest companions, the sherman Simon Bar-Jonah, better known as the Apostle Peter. Peter's disciple Mark wrote down the apostle's account of the life of Jesus as he told it to the first Christians in Rome. The vivid, detailed, unadorned prose of the Gospel of Mark conveys the unmistakable immediacy of a firsthand account.

Maya Noise is about the life and insights of a modern day mystic. In 1996, at the age of 33, John Dalton had a profound realization. He could have set himself up as a Guru, changed his name, started a commune, and developed a worldwide following. Instead, he did something more original. In the tradition of Autobiography of a Yogi, and with the authority of The Power of Now, Maya Noise is a refreshing addition to the canon of literature for those searching for the truth, and an unorthodox alternative for those interested in world peace.
