Product Description
The author believes that today's spiritual climate is often dangerous, because there isn't much sophistication in understanding what people often experience when they open themselves up to meditation and other spiritual practices. Most of the traditional religious leaders, whether they be Zen Buddhist monks, or yogis, or Christians or Jews, teach not to make much of so-called paranormal experiences. Such experiences have traditionally been said to be possibly dangerous phenomena. When people do take visions and voices as objective signs from God, they often become delusional. It has only been in the last thirty years or so that we have been able to see clearly by brain sciences that many of these experiences actually are taking place in the brain.
