Transhumanism and Contemporary Spirituality (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798994660706)

Synthesizing the world's spiritual traditions regarding self-knowledge, personal sovereignty and cyclical time, the author illuminates the modern condition. Why is technology evolving at such a rapid pace today? Why are anti-spiritual ideologies so popular? What do social engineering, paranormal phenomena, cults and computer science have in common? What is a Golden Age as opposed to a Dark Age? What can a person do to maintain spiritual wellbeing in a world so full of challenges, distractions and other assaults on our consciousness?

When we are inundated with things that demand our attention, our time, our efforts, our obedience, our very souls, we can become overwhelmed and confused. In a world that seems to change by the minute, remaining grounded and self-possessed becomes a real challenge and trial.

Through the lenses of traditional occultism, Rosicrucianism, Vedanta, Taoism, Stoicism and paranormal research, the author offers the tools and perspectives that have worked for him to find peace and wisdom in a world experiencing spiritual deprivation on a massive scale.
