Practices: A Technical Manual of the Spirit

THE END OF SPIRITUAL PRACTICE is not theoretical knowledge, but practical experience. A spirituality that bases itself more on theory than on practice is uncertain at best and superstition at worst. The important things in our spiritual growth are the personal discoveries made by the individual that we cannot discuss, predict, or imagine. It is through practice that one who believes in him or herself may find a higher power and one who believes in a higher power may truly find themselves.
Literally a technical manual of the spirit, Practices was written for the person whose spirituality is more art than science. Almost 100 spiritual practices are presented here, drawn from the world's traditions, but free of dogma and theology, inviting the reader to discover a broader spirituality, beyond personal prejudice.
