Paul Brunton: Essential Readings by Joscelyn (editor) Godwin - 1990

Crucible, Wellingborough, Northants, 1990. First Edition. Softcover. Very Good Condition. Paul Brunton (1898-1981) was a British philosopher, mystic, and traveller. He left a successful journalistic career to live among yogis, mystics and holy men and studied a wide variety of Eastern and Western esoteric teachings. With his entire life dedicated to an inward and spiritual quest, he felt charged with the task of communicating his experiences to others and, as the first person to write accounts of what he learned in the East from a Western perspective, his works had a major influence on the spread of Eastern mysticism to the West. Taking pains to express his thoughts in laymen's terms, he was able to present what he learned from the Orient and from ancient tradition as a living wisdom and these extracts sum up his view that meditation and the inward quest are not exclusively for monks and hermits but will also support those living normal, active lives in the Western world.
