Description
While spiritual delusions lure us into thinking that enlightenment brings the elimination of all suffering, spiritual realism helps us love the world as it is. Steve Posner links his personal experiences with spiritual wisdom from all over the world in order to reveal a reliable path toward a more realistic spirituality. Charting a course that can be followed by anyone of any faith—or even of no particular faith— this book is a guide for imperfect people who seek enlightenment in an imperfect world.

Posner (management communications, U. of Southern California), who specializes in spiritual teaching, shares his personal insights and experiences in learning that we need not resist nor deny the natural anxieties we experience in attaining and maintaining an enlightened, purposeful spiritual life. He believes we are fully capable of using our spiritual insight in times of uncertainty to accept and even celebrate the dark moments we all experience, and that we can use our natural cycles of expansion and contraction to resolve conflict within ourselves and in our relationships with others. The result is remarkably reassuring for those of us who are, after all, human. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
