Book Description

April 1, 2001
There is a path to divine union that requires no temple, no money, no guru, no priest, no system. By following it you can reveal your own sacred purpose on earth, regardless of faith, age, sexual orientation, or gender - and that is the way of the mystic.

On The Direct Path, the revered teacher and author Andrew Harvey confronts 2,000 years of distortion about the mystical life, and challenges you to begin your own personal transformation via the direct path. By disregarding the human agendas of institutionalized religion, Harvey teaches, you free yourself to follow this true path to the "highest temple of God" - your own body, and its sacred life in the world. With The Direct Path, Andrew Harvey offers his most complete vision yet of a possible world that honors the divinity in every living thing, while laying to rest the falsehood that the mystical life is reserved for a chosen few.


Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Harvey is concerned that the world is on an incorrect path, one that will lead to its destruction instead of to a world where we can all reach our highest potential. He believes that the direct path, where people reach out to the divine in each of us instead of to a god or guru, is the best way for us to create a place where there is peace and joy. Here Harvey attempts to provide listeners with guides to help them find the direct paths within their soul. Some of the quotes from Rumi, Beede Griffiths, and Mother Teresa are wonderful touchstones, as are some of the ideas about releasing the self from stereotypes and from finding true love with another. However, the program meanders from point to point without connecting those points in a logical fashion. This may be the result of the abridgment. In addition, the author is a poor narrator, with a voice that can be very difficult to listen to. For libraries with very large New Age or philosophy sections; otherwise, not a necessary purchase.

Book Description

Rather than depending upon gurus to mediate our way to God, a renowned spiritual scholar maintains that what is required is the Direct Path, sacred practices of mind, body & spirit through which we can each attain a personal union with the divine
