Author:P Brunton,Paul Brunton
'By far the safest and most rational exposition of Eastern metaphysics and the practice of mental discipline that I have read.' Spectator
The Quest of the Overself shows Western readers how to achieve serenity of mind, control of thought and desire, and the power to use higher forces by means of simple exercises. These include breathing and visualisation as well as mental control through meditation. These ideas, which the author gained by extensive travel in India, are as relevant to us today as they were when first published in 1937. Paul Brunton was a British philosopher, mystic and traveler. He left a successful journalistic career to live among yogis and holy men and studied a wide variety of Eastern and Western esoteric spiritual traditions. As he explains in the still fresh and fascinating The Quest of the Overself, meditation and the quest for inner peace are by no means exclusively for monks and hermits but also support those living everyday, active lives in the West.
[The Quest of the Overself] gains enormously by the fact that [Paul Brunton] is a mystic himself. He writes deliberately for the Western mind and what he says is not the justification of a particular philosophy so much as a plea for mysticism as the revealer of certain underlying realities.
—— SpectatorAt once his deepest and most considerable work thus far. And it is written with a measure of real mastery of his subject.
—— The Science of Thought ReviewA level-headed reappraisal of a man whose fantasies were fuelled as much by self-publicity as by any real demonic contact
Well informed and cool-headed . . . one can see that Crowley's own words would be of little use in conveying the facts of his life, which Hutchinson does admirably
