This book is a beautifully written exploration of modern spirituality. A true revision of Jung’s classic, Modern Man in Search of a Soul.

Allan Combs, The University of North Carolina and The California Institute of Integral Studies

A deeply thoughtful meditation on a post-traditional spirituality including its modes of practice, its embodiment in everyday life, and its major philosophical themes and intentions. The work is informed by the author’s long study of comparative spirituality and will be useful for both scholars and serious seekers in today’s globalized, pluralistic, postmodern world.

Phillip Lucas, Stetson University

Lee Irwin is the very model of a Teacher-Scholar-Practitioner of comparative religion and esotericism, and this beautifully written book is a distillation of a lifetime of his teaching, scholarship, and experience. Much of Prof. Irwin’s research is recapitulated here, including on Near Death Experience, Dreams, Reincarnation, the Hermetic Tradition, and Native American ontology, combined with unexpected and welcome autobiography, make for a spiritual masterpiece that is both practical and mystical, both scholarly and accessible.
