Have you ever wondered when you will “get it?” Enlightenment, that is. You've read spiritual books and you've visited enlightened teachers. Enlightened teachers aren’t trying to convey information, though, so in a way there is nothing to “get.” These teachers are trying to convey a feeling. You don’t puzzle out a feeling – you catch its vibe or you get on its wavelength. You can’t think your way to this state, but you can find it in the same way that people who are good at finding four-leaf clovers find a four-leaf clover - by trusting it’s there. This book explores the ...

As the heart, so is the life. The within is ceaselessly becoming the without. Nothing remains unrevealed. That which is hidden is but for a time; it ripens and comes forth at last. Seed, tree, blossom, and fruit are the fourfold order of the universe. From the state of a man’s heart proceed the conditions of his life. His thoughts blossom into deeds; and his deeds bear the fruitage of character and destiny.

This magisterial history - sure to become the definitive work on the subject - recasts the Enlightenment as a period not solely consumed with rationale and reason, but rather as a pursuit of practical means to achieve greater human happiness.
