Silent Music: The Science of Meditation (1350-1650.Women of the Reformation;1)

by WilliamJohnston (Author)

Synopsis

Silent Music breaks down the barriers between science and religion, as well as between religions themselves, in order to extrapolate a comprehensive understanding of the science of meditation. Johnston explores the concept of meditation from all perspectives in a rich account that runs the gamut from friendship to biofeedback. Understanding all approaches and incorporating them into a united vision, Silent Music reveals as new way of understanding the mystical and our search for wisdom in the modern world. Included is a glossary of terms and an index.

Media Reviews
In a simple, clear, engaging style that nicely balances necessary fact and edifying anecdote, [Johnston] propounds his belief that the greatest problem in the world today `is the imperfection of our love; that is to say, our lack of mysticism.' * -Choice *
