Editor John White uses the essays of 17 scholars to get at the process, meaning, and significance of personal transformation. Alan Watts, Aldous Huxley, Evelyn Underhill, Huston Smith, Ken Wilber, and others map enlightenment as a quest for self-transcendence, a search for understanding and happiness, and a state of awareness that lights up all experience. Most of these scholars — along with spiritual teachers such as J. Krishnamurti and Sri Aurobindo — believe that enlightenment also includes humility, service of others, and unconditional love. This paperback will raise your consciousness about enlightenment as a spiritual virtue.
