Pre-Owned Rude Awakening: Perils Pitfalls and Hard Truths of the Spiritual Path (Paperback) 1846946093 9781846946097

We live in the Golden Age of publishing for spiritual esoteric and new age books of all conceivable stripes (and then there is the Internet). Amongst this wild proliferation of available information there has occurred a cheapening effect in which many teachings have been watered down to make them palatable for a public with diminishing attention spans and suffering from information overload. For the sincere spiritual seeker there needs to be an awareness of the various ways we can go astray on the path or fall off the path altogether. The whole idea of spirituality is to be awake yet it is all too easy to simply end up in yet another dream world thinking that we have found some higher truth. Rude Awakening: Perils Pitfalls and Hard Truths of the Spiritual Path is dedicated to examining under a sharp light the many ways our spiritual development goes wrong or disappears altogether in the sheer crush of books and the routine grind of daily life.
