Reviews

[Ricco · Rating 5 out of 5]

This work provides a unique description of the enlightenment process - Merrell-Wolff describes his own awakening experience. It is a rare blend of the mystical and an attempt to describe the experience in exact formal language. His writing is full of gems and is quite successful in my opinion in capturing many subtle nuances of a profound shift in consciousness.

One of the clearest technical introductions and improvements to Idealism out there.
