Short, sweet, to the point

Paul Brunton has written a classic short manual mainly oriented towards stream enterers. Even as a long experienced walker of the spiritual path i found this gave me much insight. Buy it!

The Original Secret Path

A friend's mother left a wealth of metaphysical books behind that did not interest him. Since my interest in these matters was well beknownst to him, I became the recipient of such wonderful volumes. Among many titles from classic religion to Edgar Cace, the collection included an early printing of The Secret Path by Paul Bruton. Albeit Paul Brunton writes in a formal style, wherein one finds a certain quaintness, the depth and breadth are stirring - the imagery akin to Aldus Huxley. Moreover, I was drawn in by the Brunton's sincerity and commitment to reaching beyond his privileged path. Much as the Buddha exemplified, sharing ones awareness of the inner nature of higher man is vital to the upliftment of all. Brunton shared what he realized and what was shared with him, where ever he found the opportunity. To give and share wealth of spirit helps advance the will to share abundance with ones kind - and all in need who share this planet. It is the Christ-like way - the enlightened path that seems a secret, yet lies within our grasp. This book helps us realize the way. May I also recommend The Mystic Christ by Ethan Walker III, Devipress - 2003?

Excellent suggestions as to how to access the deeper self

Brunton knew much more than he chose to show in this book; he was a very serious student of the path...and a sage. He started out as a journalist and those writing skills allow him to write clearly, simply and yet to explain one way of reaching the deeper mind and deeper reality. This is an excellent description of one way of accessing ones deeper self. I am sure there are many ways to climb that particular mountain...and yet he must surely be correct in stressing relaxation and "no-mind" (though he doesnt use that term) as milestones on the way to universal consciousness.

One step at a Time

In this book Dr. Paul Brunton invites us to define ourselves in our quest for the Overself. He asks the question 'Who am I?'. He then outlines three stages of meditation: self-analysis, breathing & mental quiet. He continues to describe the peace and serenity that we will achieve once we have completed these 3 steps and have awakened to our Overself.An excellent book that I read almost everyday just before my meditation.
