The Presence of the Infinite | Free Book
The Presence of the Infinite sheds new light on the
important subject of spiritual experience. Using the emerging
insights of evolutionary spirituality, integral
philosopher Steve McIntosh enlarges readers’ capacity to have
spiritual experience more abundantly and use it more effectively to
improve their lives and the world around them.
The Presence of the Infinite starts by providing a timely cultural analysis and critique
of the various forms of spirituality that are vying for influence in
contemporary American society. Building on this context, McIntosh
shows how evolutionary spirituality overcomes the limitations of
religious, secular, and New Age spirituality by better harmonizing
science and spirit. Evolutionary spirituality’s transcendent
potential is found in its deepening realization of the essentially
spiritual qualities of beauty, truth, and goodness.
McIntosh then uses evolutionary spirituality’s enlarged
understanding of what spiritual experience is and how it works to
consider the question of ultimate reality. This leads to an
examination of conflicting ideas that regard spirit as either
formless and nondual, or as loving and creative. By working to
harmonize and integrate these alternative conceptions of ultimate
reality, McIntosh shows how evolutionary spirituality can achieve a
synthesis of nondual and theistic teachings of truth that can
produce a spiritual renaissance in America and
beyond.
The Presence of the Infinite is destined to become a definitive text in the exciting new field
of evolutionary spirituality.
