Since it is the UNDERSTANDING that sets man above the rest of sensible beings, and gives him all the advantage and dominion which he has over them, it is certainly a subject, even for its nobleness, worth our labour to inquire into. The understanding, like the eye, whilst it makes us see and perceive all other things, takes no notice of itself, and it requires and art and pains to set it at a distance and make it its own object. But, whatever be the...

When Wenzl Mcgowen had a mystical experience, he quickly realized that his preexisting belief system would not allow him to explain it in a way that satisfied him. And with too much knowledge of science, he was uncomfortable applying religious or other ancient belief systems in an attempt to understand. Instead, he turned to scientists-and what he learned would position his experience within a modern framework, and help him understand the effect it...

A strong and growing intuition in society today is the idea that our thoughts create our own reality. Yet it seems obvious that, try as we might, our lives are not quite what we fantasize. Is the intuition thus, wrong? Through a rational, methodic interpretation of meditative insights, the validity of which is, substantiated with a compelling scientific literature review, the author constructs hypotheses that reconcile facts with intuition.

In these pages Raphael gives just a simple introduction to the Teaching of Plato, sending the seeker back to direct meditation on the texts.
According to Giovanni Reale, so much has been written and continues to be written about Plato - and in all the main languages - that it is now quite impossible to master all these writings. It is therefore understandable why a number of scholars have for some time been postulating the need to cut back on all...
