Riassunto

In Transformations Tracy Cochran and Jeff Zaleski demonstrate that the experience of enlightenment is available to everyone regardless of creed or lack of it. Here are descriptions of transforming moments - awakenings to the sacred in the midst of life - from a young woman being mugged in Hell's Kitchen to Saul on the way to Damascus. Beginning with shifts of consciousness triggered by brushes with death, the authors explore the realms of love and of mystical union with the Godhead, literature ancient and modern and the creative impulse, shamanic states and sightings of the Virgin Mary, the frontiers of cyberspace, what psychology and modern physics can tell us about meditation, and the teachings of the great religious traditions on the most effective ways to expand our awareness.
