Description

The Hidden Teaching Beyond Yoga is a step-by-step guide to awakening the perception that our experienced world is not composed of matter, but entirely of thought(s) — of which "matter" is one.

Paul Brunton’s analysis of perception combines modern science with teachings of sages he met (and meditated and studied with) throughout Asia. It is an initiatory work for today's seekers, helping us distinguish appearances and the mind in which they appear. This first of two companion volumes prepares us for a revelation of our sacred foundation in its sequel, The Wisdom of the Overself. Here in The Hidden Teaching, P.B. prepares us for that revelation by spelling out attitudes, mental disciplines, and character traits essential for success in this greatest of all adventures.

This recently published edition of Paul Brunton's classic work has been updated to incorporate his final revisions. It includes a new introduction plus supplementary reading material selected from the author’s archives by the Paul Brunton Philosophic Foundation.

Paul Brunton

Paul Brunton is widely considered the 20th century's most influential writer on systems of self-realization. He traveled the globe in search of authentic spiritual teachers, with whom he lived, meditated, and studied. He is perhaps best known for introducing Ramana Maharshi to the West, and to much of India.

Major reviewers acclaim Brunton's integrative writings as “sensible and compelling,” “a rich vein of wisdom,” “sensible, deep, and original,” etc., that “stand beside Merton,Huxley, Suzuki, Watts, and Radhakrishnan.” He lucidly presents and makes accessible a broad spectrum of deep teachings, both East and West.

About Paul Brunton

Paul Brunton helps us hear the melody behind the medley of today's "spiritual marketplace." His late writings raise the bar for what we can expect of spiritual teachings and teachers, and what we can do for ourselves. Born in London in 1898, he soon became a leading pioneer of much of what we now take for granted. He traveled widely throughout the world (long before it was fashionable) to meet living masters of various traditions with whom he then lived and studied. His eleven early books from 1934–1952 shared much of what he learned, and helped set the stage for dramatic east-west exchanges of the late 20th century. Paul Brunton left more than 10,000 pages of enormously helpful new work in notebooks he reserved for posthumous publication, much of which is now available as The Notebooks of Paul Brunton.
