Enlightened Mind, Divine Mind : The Notebooks of Paul Brunton : Vol. 16

Here is a strong, controversial, and definitive account of what "Enlightenment" is-and of the principles under-lying it: a standard by which to evaluate claims of "union with God." Outlining stages in the spiritual hierarchy of mystics, saints, messengers, prophets, sages, and avatars ("divine incarnations"), it treats with unprecedented clarity the distinctions between inspired-human and divine identity.

Treating with unprecedented clarity the distinctions between inspired-human and divine identity, it intimately illustrates the stable goal of spiritual development and provides a standard by which to evaluate claims of ìunion with God.
