Publisher Description: A college dropout turns down a hefty salary in exchange for a quiet place to meditate, chant mantras, perform yoga, and study Sufism. Bizarre results and trying circumstances ensue. Visions inspire immersion into the unknown, and frightening out-of-body excursions spawn doubt about the model of the universe learned in physics class. Later life pulls him back to academia, but earning a Ph.D. in psychology affords its own set of challenges. Established scholars spurn his efforts to shed light on spiritual phenomena, and when he introduces the names of Allah in a lecture about the inherent emotional impact of language, anti-Islamic prejudice heats to a boil.Seeking Sound Judgment bridges the gap between mysticism and Western science. |
