A treasure trove for anyone interested in spirituality, psychology, mysticism and the future of society. In a time, when many minority groups are gaining wider recognition, one group is still overlooked or scorned by western society. This book is the first to paint a clear portrait of the millions of people who are "spiritual, but not religious." The author uses his own experiences to describe the spiritual path with penetrating honesty. He takes the reader on a wild journey from levitating meditators in Switzerland to a group of bombshelter-building new agers in Montana. He describes the profound difference between the inner path of the mystic and the outer path promoted by traditional religion. Interspersed with shocking and sometimes hilarious personal stories is a penetrating analysis of western society and why we have not found solutions to problems from world peace to the dissatisfaction with life, that seems to increase along with material welfare. The author raises the question of what comes after the welfare state, and he provides provocative answers. People who have also dared to follow their own path will findmuch to appreciate, and people who are new to the path will find profound insights and many helpful hints. The book ends by describing the often overlooked goal of the spiritual path in a way that is more clear and lucid than ever done before. With its profound insights into many aspects of life, societyand spirituality, this book has something for everyone.
