Life-saving advice on trials that arise inevitably on the quest. "The Sensitives" is a timely, informed evaluation of mysticism, paranormal experience, sects and cults. Grounded in a clear distinction between productive spiritual practice and occult sidetracks, it reports on: how to distinguish self-flattering illusions from authentic spiritual intuitions; what draws people (leaders and followers) to cults; how to distinguish authentic spiritual teachers from dogmatic or deluded cult leaders; how to bring the rational and the mystical into creative harmony.
Paul Brunton helps us hear the melody behind the medley of today's "spiritual marketplace." His late writings raise the bar for what we can expect of spiritual teachings and teachers, and what we can do for ourselves. Born in London in 1898, he soon became a leading pioneer of much of what we now take for granted. He traveled widely throughout the world (long before it was fashionable) to meet living masters of various traditions with whom he then lived and studied. His eleven early books from 1934-1952 shared much of what he learned, and helped set the stage for dramatic east-west exchanges of the late 20th century.
