Synopsis

Part 1, 'Advanced Contemplation' offers a direct route to the deepest mystical states -- yielding permanent results of a metaphysical, transpersonal, and universal nature. It introduces Short Path (sudden) practices (such as Zen, Krishnamurti, etc), develops them, explains why they are so often insufficient, and shows when, how, and in what spirit to use them effectively. Part 2, 'The Peace within You', offers an uplifting and invigorating approach to 'the peace which passeth understanding' at the core of every human being, showing how its rich serenity can be consciously integrated into daily living.

About this title

About the Author

Paul Brunton helps us hear the melody behind the medley of today's "spiritual marketplace." His late writings raise the bar for what we can expect of spiritual teachings and teachers, and what we can do for ourselves. Born in London in 1898, he soon became a leading pioneer of much of what we now take for granted. He traveled widely throughout the world (long before it was fashionable) to meet living masters of various traditions with whom he then lived and studied. His eleven early books from 1934-1952 shared much of what he learned, and helped set the stage for dramatic east-west exchanges of the late 20th century.
