chance encounter

I picked up this book at a hostel in Amsterdam and took it home with me on a whim. I have found it to be an excellent companion to my current studies of Patanjali's Yoga Sutra; it is its Western counterpart, you might say. It details the thought processes of the mind and outlines methods of concentration to alter consciousness, keeping it fresh and in the moment rather than dwelling on past experiences. I gave it four stars cause it is tedious reading at times, being so intellectual. However, with perseverance, and especially in conjunction with the Yoga Sutras, it definitely yields its fruits!
