The Path of Confrontation: Finding your Spiritual Voice

The major mystical traditions of the world all speak of various paths. The process of becoming a mystic is a journey into Consciousness and every journey requires a path. But mysticism is not only about the pursuit of knowledge; it is a response to the crisis of existence. The questions that mysticism attempts to answer are not merely theoretical ones. They are real, existential ones that come from grappling with the contradictions of existence. Life is not a sedate classroom. It rushes at one like a mad bull. It is a place of joy and pain. A world of paradox. There are three principal ways that one can respond to this crisis of existence. One can follow a non-spiritual life. One can take refuge in an organized religion or one can be a ‘spiritual outsider’ following an individual path. Although this book is aimed at all spiritual seekers it is especially written for those in the third group, the ‘spiritual outsider’. This will help you to find your spiritual voice, Overcome dogma. Embrace your individuality. And attain mystical knowledge through self-enquiry.
