In 1972, I left my home in the Comox Valley on Vancouver Island and travelled to the orient, and ended up living in India for seven years. This talk is about why I left my home and some of the experiences I went through before meeting my Spiritual Master, Dr. Dinshah K Mehta. In particular, the talk sketches out highlights of a mystical experience I had before meeting Dr Dinshah K. Mehta and the connection between that experience and the teaches of Dr.Mehta linked with eternal question of “If God is perfect and man is made in God’s image and likeness, then why does evil exist ?”.
