The Quest Of The Overself | Free Book
'By far the safest and most rational exposition of Eastern
metaphysics and the practice of mental discipline that I have
read.' Spectator
The Quest of the Overself shows Western readers
how to achieve serenity of mind, control of thought and desire, and
the power to use higher forces by means of simple exercises. These
include breathing and visualisation as well as mental control
through meditation. These ideas, which the author gained by
extensive travel in India, are as relevant to us today as they were
when first published in 1937. Paul Brunton was a British
philosopher, mystic and traveler. He left a successful journalistic
career to live among yogis and holy men and studied a wide variety
of Eastern and Western esoteric spiritual traditions. As he explains
in the still fresh and fascinating The Quest of the Overself,
meditation and the quest for inner peace are by no means exclusively
for monks and hermits but also support those living everyday, active
lives in the West.
In The Press
[The Quest of the Overself] gains enormously by the fact that [Paul Brunton] is a mystic himself. He writes deliberately for the Western mind and what he says is not the justification of a particular philosophy so much as a plea for mysticism as the revealer of certain underlying realities.
