Secular and Mystical Spirituality

In this episode I review two books on spirituality, the first, Secular Spirituality, by Harald Walach, and the second, Belonging to God, by Will Keepin. Both books are important contributions to the field of science and spirituality with an emphasis on inner experience as a means of accessing other levels of reality, as one sees for instance in near-death experiences. Harald's book provides a lot of historical background, with fascinating insights into Roger Bacon, while Will draws of 35 years of spiritual practice while referring to classic mystical texts in a number of traditions.
