From the back cover: Jean Hardy's well-known book was inspired by her avid curiosity about the ideas underlying psychosynthesis. It led her into a whole alternative stream of thinking and experience, Western and Eastern, which have continued to excite and encourage her to this day. After setting out the main tenets of psychosynthesis, the book traces a long line of spiritual experience over the last 2000 years. It goes on to explore the relationship between spiritual and scientific knowledge which Assagioli, a psychiatrist, had to negotiate to present his understanding in an acceptable way in the 20th century.
