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. What he saw, experienced, and had to endure is fascinating and simply inconceivable for the human intellect. His contacts with various masters and the manner in which these events occurred are deeply touching and invite the reader into unfathomable depths of our existence. This book is certainly one of the most unusual autobiographies ever to be published in the field of spiritual literature.

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.
