"This is a truly remarkable work; nothing like it exists, it is absolutely unique. We have a seasoned, rigorous psychologist examining with great openness, sensitivity, and profundity, the experiences, teachings, and nature of a famous spiritual teacher; and even more, the whole nature of transcendental experience and spiritual discovery. His final goal -- to bring the transpersonal into psychology in a responsible way -- is a fresh and powerful achievement. There is nothing "flakey" about the book (the world is full of flakey stuff: off-beat psychologists playing around with mysticism in impersonal and ignorant ways); it is challenging but sound. The book is serious in the best sense of the word, deriving, I think, from the author's sense of responsibility to himself, his profession, and to the readers." -- James N. Mosel, The George Washington University
"I find compelling the idea that certain phenomena are not taken seriously in psychology, not because the evidence for them is weak, but because the available theoretical paradigm cannot accommodate them. In upholding the spiritual as a central factor in human experience I believe that the author has located in this issue the most strategic point of attack. Finally, I like the honesty of the book. Books which are both intelligent and honest are rare." -- John A. Faber, Case Western Reserve University
"I feel that the book is probably unique, in its combination of great psychological sophistication, in its autobiographical concreteness and sincerity, and in the depth of its epistomological and metaphysical search -- it shrinks from none of the difficult problems." -- Robert F. Bales, Harvard University

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to GoldBooks, Comfort, Texas, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
