A mitad de camino : la falacia de la iluminación prematura

In an era of exponentially increasing options for the spiritual seeker, this book warns against the dangers of ego inflation, abuse of power, addiction to mystical states, and fraud in the long journey toward enlightenment and fulfillment. The assertion that seekers must critically examine the ideas and ideals of their spiritual teachers shows seekers how to avoid common pitfalls of new age religious practice such as mistaking a mystical experience for enlightenment or following a guru with aspirations of power and control. Interviews with such noted spiritual masters as Andrew Cohen, Joan Halifax, Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi, and Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee are included.
