Extraordinary Times, Extraordinary Beings is essential reading for those who intuitively sense that there is more to life than what we might have imagined and those who want to explore their true identity as souls. It also delivers a powerful message about where we are as a human race, and what we can achieve if we choose to work with the Divine Beings now among us in making sharing, justice, cooperation and peace a reality.

Few books convey this level of detail about personal encounters with spiritual Masters of Wisdom, and the powerful message of this book solidifies as readers reflect upon four points:

First, Peterson’s story of his personal and professional lives reveals how the Masters oversee human endeavors. It appears, for example, that Peterson’s glimpse of Benjamin Creme on television, and his subsequent meeting with him, are not coincidental.

Second, the mix of spiritual and practical outcomes after interactions with Masters demonstrates their attention to our well-being on the spiritual, emotional and physical planes. For example, they are as attentive to Peterson's need for a comfortable home where family and friends can gather as they are to his expansion of consciousness.

The third point is the explicit teaching that Peterson relates on subjects as essential as Self-realization, the Law of Cause and Effect, detachment, replacing fear with love, and meditation.

Finally, the appendices provide an overview of the Ageless Wisdom teachings, as well as lists of books and other resources that support the reader's further investigation of these topics.

Examples of the Masters’ involvement in human lives stimulate hope and faith, and in this book Wayne Peterson has given us an extraordinary insight into the secret life of a diplomat.
