The Rise of the New Spirituality
Wisdom Seekers: The Rise of the New Spirituality explores the origins
and precursors of the New Age movement, its consolidation within the
American counterculture of the late 1960s, and its development into an
international spiritual perspective in contemporary Western society.
The book considers the influence on the New Age of metaphysicians like
Emanuel Swedenborg, Mesmer, Madame Blavatsky and Gurdjieff; pioneering
thinkers like Freud, Jung and William James; and the contribution to
New Age thought of Indian spiritual traditions and transpersonal
psychology. Wisdom Seekers also describes the way in which the New Age
paradigm has absorbed the most recent discoveries of quantum physics
and consciousness research, and it explores the New Age focus on
personal spiritual experience rather than formal religious doctrines.
