This eleventh volume of Brunton's notebooks, now being published posthumously, expands on Brunton's earlier works. An authority on ancient religion, Brunton deals with a broad range of timely topics, including "Fanaticism, Money, Power . . . ," and the Occult. His work should therefore help readers assess the present deluge of books in New Age philosophy. This is by no means for the novice, however, but for the determined seeker of Truth in whatever manifestation. As Brunton sums it up: ". . . the prime business of such teaching religious is to illuminate the mind." Recommended for appropriate collections. Robert J. Dorn, Crawford Memorial Lib., Monticello, New York Copyright 1988 Reed Business Information, Inc.
Product Description
This book is a timely, informed evaluation of mysticism, paranormalexperience, sects and cults. Grounded in a clear distinction between productive spiritual practice and dangerous fascination with the occult, it reports on: How to distinguish self-flattering illusion and spiritual intuition and other related topics.
