Life Never Ends

A Travel Guide to Eternity

Life moves like a rollercoaster, up and down and all around, and we are right in the middle of it. Hopes, expectations, and disappointments are experienced, and once in a while a few moments of happiness come along. But, like everything else, they trickle away…

It wasn’t always like that, and it isn’t like that, really. It just seems that way. In Life Never Ends, Mario Mantese counters these assumptions. Based on heartening and emboldening realizations, this Swiss wisdom-teacher shows here that many things are completely different, completely the opposite. The rollercoaster moves only within the circuit of thoughts. Mario Mantese reminds us that we can get off the ride at any time. The thrills and fears experienced along those tracks are nothing compared to the true beauty of life. He writes with a smile, “Nothing is riskier than daily life.”

In the Land of Silence

Encountering Secret Masters in the Himalayas

Majestic mountains, snow-capped peaks, and beyond a pass a mysterious master is said to exist.
The narrator goes to the Himalayas searching for one of those legendary masters who lives an austere life in a cave and whose spirit encompasses countless ages and myriad worlds. The seeker is guided in perceptible and often imperceptible ways until he ultimately enters ‘the land of silence’. “All of the sudden, in one single moment, my entire world was reduced to a pile of ashes. A mysterious power compelled me to penetrate still deeper into hidden, unknown worlds.”
During his process of inner revolution, the author experiences a profound transformation. Between day and dream, the truth is revealed to him in the pure light of the Universal. The reader is taken in a very unconventional manner through vast mountainous realms towards an encounter with extraordinarily cultivated high masters.
Mario Mantese is the author of over twenty works of spiritual literature. Among them are classics such as In the Heart of the World and Wisdom for Everyone. Thousands of people come to his gatherings from all over the world. He refers to himself as ‘the empty teacher’. His home is ‘the great silence’.

Prayers

from the Divine Source

These 64 prayers, invocations actually, are infused with potent divine energy.
You pray to that which you discover within yourself; to the Heavenly Kingdom, to the spark of that which radiates its supreme brilliance through everything, the Light of all Lights, which glows inside you. Or, as Master Jesus expressed it, you pray to the kingdom of God within you.
When these prayers are read and recited in the manner Master M suggests, they act as sublime petitions that prompt deep healing and awakening.

The Taoist

The Secret Life

You are the World

Pearls of Love

“I am the divine emptiness from which the first thought appears. Through it all things are revealed. I am the one feeling out of which all feelings are revealed. Do not lose yourself in the apparent variety of manifestation, for I alone am the one great unity, beyond which nothing exists.”

Who speaks these words? No ‘I’ as we know it. The Swiss author and spiritual teacher Mario Mantese expresses from the source beyond space and time. His aphorisms are glimmering pearls of love, and their radiance guides the soul directly to the Self. “

Why are you afraid to recognize your true Self, and to be? Awaken in me, Beloved! I am absolute presence and supreme wisdom. Truly, I am you and you are me.”

The Art of Not Being

For Mario Mantese – Master M – the cosmic organism and the arrangement of the world are expressions of the inconceivable intelligence of divine being. This divine intelligence dwells within us as the principles of activity and creativity. Here, the one universal heart pulsates through all of nature.
Mario Mantese invites us to live with the awareness that we are in the world, but not of the world; completely free from our assumed dualistic existence. The objective: Awareness of ‘EVERYTHING that is,’ and of ‘Non-Being within being.’

Blessings

A Man of Miracles

»Those who overcome their inner limitations enter the limitless. Those who transcend the world restricted to the senses flow back into that which is beyond space and time. Those who think that this or that is impossible remain trapped in their own narrow boundaries.« These are the words of Master M, and are indications of our limitless being in eternal Here and Now.

Blessings of the Universe is a kaleidoscope through which one can view glimpses of life-stories of people whose lives have been deeply touched by their encounters with Master M. Their portrayals reveal his capacity to act in remarkable ways that transcend our natural laws. One is truly amazed at the supernatural and unlimited presence of this unusual master.

This book contains twenty-one narratives from people who know him for many years and have the good fortune to be near him. They allow the reader to recognize how Master M lives and embodies ‘the Great Silence’. The authors of these accounts have also posed over two-hundred questions to the master, which he responds to directly and comprehensively. His clear and profound answers are infused with deep compassion and help us to overcome our dualistic, polarizing ways of thinking and acting.

A world filled with beauty and wonder reveals itself to the reader. Master M is truly in all respects an extraordinary ordinary human being.

In the Heart of the World

Autobiography of Master M

This uncommon book is a journey of discovery in the truest sense of those words, a journey to unseen inner worlds. Mario Mantese’s thorough investigation of internal frontiers and parallel worlds are depicted here, and the reader is awe-struck by his extraordinary sensitivity and his almost unlimited spiritual capabilities, and how he employs them to cross over secret invisible boundaries.

Mario Mantese – Master M, member of the highly successful American funk and soul band Heatwave, was leaving a gala party in London in 1978, when he was injured in the heart. He was clinically dead for several minutes until doctors reanimated him and performed two operations. Afterwards he was in a coma for five weeks. When he awoke, he found himself blind, unable to speak, and paralyzed from head to toe. During his profound, out-of-body experience he discovered that he continued to live without his physical body, and that his life was in reality never bound to his physical form. This realization allowed him to immerse himself in that which is beyond life and death, beyond space and time. For over thirty years Master M has imparted his insights through numerous books and has held gatherings and darshans for thousands of people from all over the world.
