Pathways Through to Space: A Personal Record of Transformation in Consciousness

Harmonizing the best of eastern mysticism and western intellectualism, Pathway Through to Space is required reading for all those who strive for life's deepest meanings. An outstanding contribution to mystic literature, this personal record offers an intimate view of one man's search for the truth. This classic volume is the first coherent, practical guide to achieving higher levels of consciousness. With the insight and sensitivity of Gurdjieff, Ouspensky, Lilly, Castaneda, and Laing, the words of this scientist will serve as an inspiration for greater and more expansive experiences, leading the way toward a new synthesis of perception and understanding. "Beautifully written, this volume is best described perhaps as a prolonged soliloquy by one who . . . in the manner of the Buddhist mystics sought to arrive at his own liberated self."--The New York Times

Mircea Eliade

Shamanism: Archaic Techniques of Ecstasy

First published in 1951, Shamanism soon became the standard work in the study of this mysterious and fascinating phenomenon. Writing as the founder of the modern study of the history of religion, Romanian emigre--scholar Mircea Eliade (1907-1986) surveys the practice of Shamanism over two and a half millennia of human history, moving from the Shamanic traditions of Siberia and Central Asia--where Shamanism was first observed--to North and South America, Indonesia, Tibet, China, and beyond. In this authoritative survey, Eliade illuminates the magico-religious life of societies that give primacy of place to the figure of the Shaman--at once magician and medicine man, healer and miracle-doer, priest, mystic, and poet. Synthesizing the approaches of psychology, sociology, and ethnology, Shamanism will remain for years to come the reference book of choice for those intrigued by this practice.
