I wouldn't recommend this book to Roman Catholics as it might confuse them with the supposed innocuous practices of other religions. Maki is familiar with Hindu religious mythology, as he mentions the strange Temple of 1,000 Vaginas. However, Maki considers even New Age fads worthless. He seems to use Hinduism for the advantage Transcendental Meditation gives him for clear headed life choices.
In the Catholic Church, Transcendental Meditation is a calming technique for physicality only. We refer to it centering prayer or lower level meditation as it has no actual content of its own. It focuses on controlled breathing and detaching from sense awareness. This stage seems to put Maki in a good ambiance to choose a path in his life when he is unsure about his possibilities.
Catholics would say this lower awareness sets the stage for unitive prayer with God or communing so that God can direct the soul directly to its most profitable place in the process of personal deliberation.
This book is basically about a pilgrimage made to a holy place (Peru) and the necessity of going there by way of India (another holy place to him).… (mer)
