A Manual for Everyday Living as Spiritual Practice
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
This is a very deep book that should be read very slowly, because each paragraph contains much wisdom. It is not a book so much for the spiritual beginner but for those who are longstanding spiritual practitioners looking for more understanding of how to manifest their spiritual wisdom in everyday life. I disagree with the other reviewer; the Durkheim does not introduce a lot of arcane or idiosyncratic terminology -- in fact he defines any unusual terms he uses, and there are not that many. Those with backgrounds in Zen and Jungian psychology would be best suited for this book. The author does not take a devotional or bhakti approach to God (Divine Being in his terminology) but more of a jnani attitude, i.e., analyzing what keeps individuals trapped in egoic identifications and estranged from the Ground of Being (another term he uses for God).
