What if science and spirituality were never meant to be separate? In 1921, artist and scientist Walter Russell entered a state of expanded consciousness that revealed the hidden structure of creation itself.

Training in concentration leads to these states, each of which yields a deeper and subtler state of awareness than the previous one. The jhānas are not in themselves awakening, but they are a skillful means for stilling the mind in a way that leads in that direction, and they are attainable by anyone who devotes the time and sincerity of practice necessary to realize them.
