Southern Nights and the Light of Awareness (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781067014261)

"Spiritual impulses have arisen in humanity's breast and mind for thousands of years. Once it was sufficient to respond to the heart-felt love emanating from the spiritual domain in visions, during sleep and via dreams. Now, however, a more dynamic understanding is required, derived empirically from the observations of mystics. The question is, who will help us in our task to promote spiritual empiricism? It will take a new type of person, a mystic who is both scientifically and spiritually trained, who is capable of avoiding the worst excesses of the illusions human beings are naturally prey to, to initiate a new informed and rational debate regarding humanity's spiritual nature." - The Mentors

Peter Calvert is one of those empirically oriented mystics. Whether directly perceiving auras, or having visions that penetrate deep into the spiritual realm, he brings a sensibility honed by working in the sciences to process his subtle perceptions. Like the ancient mystics who helped found the world's religions, he also speaks to non-embodied identities. Yet these are not the gods of ancient times, but human beings who have completed their cycles of reincarnation and now, adopting the role of insightful mentors, use contemporary scientific and cultural concepts to share their views on the interconnected spiritual and physical realms.
