Enlightenment in Our Time - Second Edition

This is a refreshing new look at the timeless topic of Enlightenment, the ultimate goal of all spiritual paths. It resulted from twenty-five years of meetings with teachers from a wide variety of wisdom traditions, including Sufi, Hindu, Buddhist, and New Age.

The book is nonsectarian and contemporary in tone... a psycho-spiritual poetic odyssey for 21st-Century pilgrims. The tone is eclectic and adventurous, It is not only about enlightenment, it is meant to be enlightening. Instead of chapters, it has short sections, framed by provocative quotes from a wide variety of inspired voices, both known and obscure.

"After reading inspirational, metaphysical, and spiritual books more or less continuously for thirty years," says author, Lonny Brown, "I decided to write one that is different, yet feels inevitable and timeless. I wrote about what fascinates me the most for fellow seekers who don't want canned answers and worn-out platitudes.

This book defines enlightenment by offering many interpretations and examples. It inspires the reader, then provides suggestions for meditation, living, loving, and dying.
