Using the emerging insights of evolutionary spirituality, integral philosopher Steve McIntosh enlarges readers' capacity to have spiritual experience more abundantly and use it more effectively to improve their lives and the world around them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Presence of the Infinite\u003c\/i\u003e starts by providing a timely cultural analysis and critique of the various forms of spirituality that are vying for influence in contemporary American society. Building on this context, McIntosh shows how evolutionary spirituality overcomes the limitations of religious, secular, and New Age spirituality by better harmonizing science and spirit. Evolutionary spirituality's transcendent potential is found in its deepening realization of the essentially spiritual qualities of beauty, truth, and goodness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMcIntosh then uses evolutionary spirituality's enlarged understanding of what spiritual experience is and how it works to consider the question of ultimate reality. This leads to an examination of conflicting ideas that regard spirit as either formless and nondual, or as loving and creative. By working to harmonize and integrate these alternative conceptions of ultimate reality, McIntosh shows how evolutionary spirituality can achieve a synthesis of nondual and theistic teachings of truth that can produce a spiritual renaissance in America and beyond.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Presence of the Infinite\u003c\/i\u003e is destined to become a definitive text in the exciting new field of evolutionary spirituality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Steve McIntosh\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0835609413\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780835609418\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Quest Books (IL)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.70d","brand":"Steve McIntosh","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43926622273791,"sku":"9780835609418","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_5c0a379a-3e9c-4d1c-bfac-b52bf92c4993.jpg?v=1681084090","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-presence-of-the-infinite-steve-mcintosh-9780835609418","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
