Más información sobre el libro

"There are truths beyond the nirvanas and ecstasies, beyond the transcendental perspectives and the present-moment awareness, which are waiting to be recognized." The Possibilities of Spiritual Experience brings together the four major forces in Western spiritual movements--Christianity, Buddhism, Taoism and Hinduism (including the Yogic and Advaita traditions)--acknowledging their distinctive contributions to an emerging, evolutionary and universal paradigm. The author, based on his own direct experiences as well as those of recognized spiritual figures (Aurobindo, Ramana Maharshi, Christian mystics, and others), clarifies and gives solutions to important conundrums of contemporary spirituality, such The Possibilities of Spiritual Experience challenges both the static views of traditional spirituality and the simplistic approaches of contemporary spiritual movements, providing a path for the modernization of spirituality arguing that "the science of Enlightenment [spirituality] never reached the Enlightenment Age." This book is a genuine effort to make spirituality a recognized field of science.
