ESSAYS

Most of the time when I write I do so from personal experience. That is I take my personal experience and integrate it with theoretical or philosophical perspectives. It is important to me that they are deeply interwoven. The truth of my particular experience is vital for me. And I want it interwoven with greater truths.

MYSTICAL ESSAYSstairs
“Leaves, Rivers and Snowflakes.” This essay is an example of what transpersonal philosopher, Ken Wilber describes as nature mysticism. It describes an experience in which normal ego boundaries are transcended while in a natural se

Chanting” describes an experience while chanting with a spiritual teacher. It is what Wilber would term deity mysticism in which the material world is transcended and merger is less with nature and more directly with God. Download it here.

There are other higher levels of mysticism which for betteror worse I have not personally experienced so they are not written of here. These matters will be discussed in a forth coming book on transpersonal psychology. Hopefully, this book will be available here in fall of 2014 or early 2015.
