In his thought-provoking book, All the Way to Heaven, an Englishman called Anu, who coined his pseudonym when he understood it meant both the microcosm and macrocosm of life, explores the Universal Laws and how to apply them in your lives. In heart-searching detail he journeys through stories and experiences in his own life to give the reader valuable insight into the workings of the mind, the struggle for understanding and the ultimate joy and satisfaction when the goal is attained.
Anu was in India back in 1993. He discovered that people there had difficulty saying his given name - Andrew: it always came out sounding like Anu: they couldn't pronounce the d" sound. Anyway, he met a psychic one day who gave him many pointers for his life, including one of his two daily mantras. When Anu asked the little man if there was any meaning to the word or name Anu, the psychic got very excited and animated! In the endearing accent of an Indian he exclaimed, "Very good word, very good word! Anu means tiny particle, like an atom: but it also means the whole universe!" Wow! Anu fell in love with this new name! Now, all his closest spiritual friends call him Anu.
As a kicker to this story, when Anu returned to England in March 1994, one of the first books he picked up was about dolphins, his favorite of all God's creatures. Thumbing the first few pages, his eye was caught by a word: on closer inspection he read that the leader of the pod of dolphins was called Anu! He just about dropped the book in surprise and joy. What a fabulous confirmation of his new name!
Anu has had his fair share of the ups and downs of life, and he is open-hearted and open-minded in his willingness to illustrate how his experiences can possibly help the reader to come to a better understanding of this magical existence called life.
You'll meet Derek, a mystic in the guise of Merlin who helps Anu, he of the Arthur energy. You'll encounter Brenda and June, whose humble lives personify the modern-day adept.

By overcoming sometimes insurmountable hurdles, these, and others characters, display an indomitable spirit.
You'll learn about a special meditation circle which Anu was part of: this group of high-minded people would meet at Stonehenge inside the stones at the time of each full moon. The aftermath of one particular session provides the reader with a story worthy of any true-to-life thriller!
You will learn about the life of a Russian master painter, little-known outside his native land. The author met this wonderful man when he'd just celebrated his 100th birthday! The artist's story is a compelling journey through the turmoil of existence during the turbulent years of Stalinist Russia, his triumphant realization of a connection to an ancient world, and the magnificent artworks that decorated his tiny apartment in a small town in the Ural Mountains.
You will also be introduced to Carol, Anu's lifelong spiritual friend, whose love, help and guidance have played such an important role in the unfolding story of someone who can be said to possess the Arthur energy.
For the true seeker of the self, there are treasures galore in the metaphysical teachings brought out by Anu in the text.

It's a long, long road, with many a winding turn... So says the song. Anu takes you on a journey often referred to as The Dark Night of the Soul, where he explains that even the bad times are good when it comes to learning life's lessons. Often what is perceived at the time as traumatic and unnecessary, when placed in the overall context of one's life, can be the most important learning.
This is one of the most important books to be released in the area of self-help since the untimely death of Dr. Wayne Dyer, a much-revered mentor of the author. He considers that Dr. Dyer and Dr. Deepak Chopra are his most influential role-models in this genre of writing about spirituality, and he hopes to continue their undoubted legacy as the world wakes up and the inexorable movement towards the promised Aquarian Golden Age gathers pace.
