Synopsis

With an approach that is harmonious with the scientific mindset, Eh Na?, or 'What Now?', deals with exposing the essence of the divine and humanity's connection with it. This book encourages the reader to apply critical thinking, instead of spiritual materialism when approaching the mystical and allows the reader to discover the tools to do so. Mysticism is a field which claims to possess deep, hidden truths but is sorely lacking in critical thinking about those truths. Alternatively, rationality knows how to search for the truth in a careful and systematic fashion. It knows how to check its own work and it knows how to explain itself clearly. If practitioners can train themselves to think logically and critically about what they're doing, it will help them to get further in their practice. Eh Na? provides the critical thinking tools to help you achieve this for yourself.
