The Secret Path

'The treasure-trove of the real self is within us, but it can be lifted only when the mind is still.'Paul Brunton was one of the 20th century's greatest explorers of, and writers on, the spiritual traditions of the East. He travelled widely throughout India (in particular) and met gurus and teachers who enriched his life immeasurably. By passing on to us the wisdom he learned directly from these holy men, he is widely credited as having introduced yoga and meditation to the West. In The Secret Path, Paul Brunton explains in simple language how to meditate, and how this will transform your everyday existence. He also describes the remarkable experiences and understandings he himself gained from meditation and how, by making this ancient practice a part of your life, you will be able to experience a valuable kind of freedom and a deep inner peace. The classic work - which has been reprinted many times - is a very special pointer towards your inner world, and one written by a most unusual and adventurous man of insight.

Reviews

Ackroyd's book has its fair share of terrified hauntees and, unless you're a sceptic, there are plenty of scenes that will make the hairs on the back of your neck bristle

—— Simon Griffith , Mail on Sunday

A rich and compelling assembly of stories for winter nights

—— New Statesman

This is a wonderful little book. It's properly old-fashioned and unorthodox, a scrapbook of clues, tittle-tattle, hints and mortal byways

—— Roger Clarke , Independent

Ackroyd's collection glides seamlessly from terror to humour to downright peculiarity: it is the ideal read as the nights darken and Halloween approaches

—— Tina Jackson , Metro

A fascinating anthology of sightings of ghosts in England over the centuries

—— Andrew Lycett , Literary Review

A winning compendium

—— Daily Telegraph

He has found some sterling stories. It's for life, not just for Hallowe'en

—— TheBookBag.co.uk

Everybody loves a good ghost story and this selection of spooky sightings, both scary and comical, will certainly satisfy an appetite for eerie reading

—— Daily Express

The stories have a pleasing strangeness, even, or perhaps especially if one does not believe in ghosts

—— Independent on Sunday

The story of the phantom hitchhiker did give me the creeps

—— Colin Waters , Herald
