Description: In this book Anne Bancroft describes the awakening of spiritual consciousness in humanity, as expressed in both the past and the present. She examines the basis of spiritual reality and sees, for example, how such apparently diverse traditions as earth goddesses, shamanic practices, Christianity, Hinduism and Buddhism can affect our traditions and attitudes.
The book poses serious questions about meditation and its efficacy and goes deeply into the attitudes that are essential for spirituality, such as feeling wonder, the sense of being nothing, learning stillness and having no expectations. The author asks what is meant by enlightenment and, through her own experiences, explores her belief that it is within the reach of all. -- from back cover
