Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
This eleventh volume of Brunton's notebooks, now being published posthumously, expands on Brunton's earlier works. An authority on ancient religion, Brunton deals with a broad range of timely topics, including "Fanaticism, Money, Power . . . ," and the Occult. His work should therefore help readers assess the present deluge of books in New Age philosophy. This is by no means for the novice, however, but for the determined seeker of Truth in whatever manifestation. As Brunton sums it up: ". . . the prime business of such teaching religious is to illuminate the mind." Recommended for appropriate collections. Robert J. Dorn, Crawford Memorial Lib., Monticello, New York

A Fountain of Wisdon,
By "nwdixieboy" (Seattle, WA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Sensitives: Dynamics and Dangers of Mysticism (The Notebooks of Paul Brunton) (Paperback)
Paul Brunton has written a very helpful book for serious mystics of the pitfalls and perils of the mystic path when it is not balanced in it's approach. Brunton has had a lifetime of serious study and personal experience of the many paths of mysticism to give one a healthy perspective from which to evaluate the true value of mysticism in today's world.

The Sensitives: Dynamics & Dangers of Mysticism,
This review is from: The Sensitives: Dynamics and Dangers of Mysticism (The Notebooks of Paul Brunton) (Paperback)
THE SENSITIVES is a focus on the dynamics and dangers of mysticism. Here we are guided around and through the
maze of cults and fallacious religions with their superstitious beliefs, practices of 'hocus-pocus' and shown the need to understand the difference between spiritual and psychic experiences. Within the dangers of mysticism, Paul Brunton warns us that without critical judgment and firm discrimination, we can get caught up in the black magic of false teachers, the misuse of meditation, the web of unpractical idealism and following the path of many others, live with our heads-in-the-sand. Within the dynamics of mysticism, THE SENSITIVES explores and expands on the meaning, the power and necessary philosophic discipline, responsible awareness and use of the mind in its metaphysical studies and ultra-mystic meditations, as introduced in THE HIDDEN TEACHING BEYOND YOGA and THE WISDOM OF THE OVERSELF. THE SENSITIVES is a category for all individuals on a spiritual quest, especially beginners and intermediates of the study and practice of mysticism.
