This product is the result of the: The Enneagram as a Key to True Potential GB … sharing elsewhere will result in being banned! Halfway Up The Mountain:The Error of Premature Claims to EnlightmentMariana Caplan “Fool’s gold exists because there is real gold,” coined Rumi. Here author and anthropologist Mariana Caplan herself extracts valuable nuggets from the writings of spiritual masters, both ancient and contemporary, as well as personal interviews with more than 30 esteemed masters, spiritual practitioners, and scholars and psychologists such as Andrew Cohen, Claudio Naranjo, and Robert Svoboda. Contending that “the present condition of contemporary spirituality in the West is one of grave distortion, confusion, fraud, and a fundamental lack of education,” Caplan sets out to correct this situation by encouraging seekers to carefully examine the ideas–and ideals–of the spiritual teachers with whom they are involved. The introduction by Fleet Maull, a lay monk in the Zen Peacemaker Order and founder of the National Prison Hospice Project, alone makes this worth reading.
