In 1978 Mario Mantese was a successful musician, the bass player of the American pop-soul group 'Heatwave' ('Boogie Nights', 'Groove Line', 'Always and Forever'). After a tragic incident in London he was clinically dead for several minutes. He was reanimated, and remained in a coma for over a month. When he awoke he was blind, unable to speak, and paralyzed from head to toe. During this time of immense outer limitation, he was able, internally, to contact the deepest power of healing, the Divine. He realized through this tremendous out-of-body experience that he was living eternally without a body, a realization which totally transformed him. This spiritual energy, teamed with tremendous determination, allowed him to emancipate himself from any suffering. In the following years he was also allowed to do this for thousands of people. Since that time Mario Mantese, also known as Master M, has written many books and holds gatherings and darshans through-out the world.
