Presence of the Infinite, The: The Spiritual Experience of Beauty, Truth, and Goodness

The Presence of the Infinite reveals more clearly than ever before what spiritual experience is and how it works. Integral philosopher Steve McIntosh expands our capacity to have such experience abundantly and use it effectively to improve our lives and the world around us. Within this expanded understanding, conflicting ideas that regard spirit as either formless and impersonal, or as loving and creative, are harmonized. McIntosh, the inventor of the Zen Alarm Clock, transcends pluralistic relativism and soft-headed New Age thinking. His concentration on America’s need for more effective forms of spiritual leadership keeps the discussion practical and culturally relevant while also being profound and inspirational. Destined to become a definitive text in the exciting new field of evolutionary spirituality, his book presents a vision that can help us move forward in the twenty-first century.
