Publisher's Synopsis
This book is for those who take their spiritual lives seriously, but who no longer feel comfortable following the guidance of religious institutions. They wish to live profoundly but reject the straight-jackets of dogma, institutional structures, and empty rituals. The good news is that it is not necessary to belong to any religion or to believe in anything to have rich, vital spiritual life. An unconditional commitment to truth and love is the only requirement. How that is lived out is the essence of this book. Contemporary neuroscience, recent research into psychedelics and the nature of consciousness, the internal experiences of mystics and the scholarship of Carl Jung provide the foundation for a fresh, non-religious approach to the inner life. This book explores that approach and its implications.
