[EAN: 9780226453699], Gebraucht, sehr guter Zustand, [SC: 10.39], [PU: UNIV OF CHICAGO PRESS.], Jacket, XIII, 575 Seiten / p. Sehr guter Zustand / very good condition - Esalen has always been on the edge. Famous for its natural hot springs and stunning locale on the face of the Pacific coastline, the institute has long been a world leader in alternative and experiential education. The visionary ideas and revolutionary practices of Henry Miller, Aldous Huxley, Allen Ginsberg, Hunter S. Thompson, Fritz Peris, Alan Watts, Joseph Campbell, and even Boris Yeltsin are all a part of its remarkable story. Today, Esalen stands at the center of the human potential movement, whose basic claim is that human beings possess immense untapped reserves of consciousness and energy that cultures have repressed in different ways but that we can now access and actualize within a more integral vision of our own spiritual, intellectual, and physical development. -- Forged in the literary leanings of the Beat Generation, inspired in the Bay Area and in the lecture halls of Stanford by radical scholars of comparative religion, the institute was the brainchild of Michael Murphy and Richard Price. Set against the heady backdrop of California during the revolutionary 1960s, Esalen recounts in intimate and fascinating detail how these two maverick thinkers sought to fuse the spiritual revelations of the East with the scientific revolutions of the West - to combine the very best elements of Darwin and Freud, Buddhist meditation and Tantric philosophy - into a decidedly utopian vision that rejected the dogmas of both conventional religion and science. In this religion of no religion, the natural world was as holy as the spiritual one, scientific experiments and mystical experiences not only commingled but became staunch allies, and a decidedly erotic enlightenment of the body led to an ever fuller realization of human nature. -- Tantric yoga, psychedelic drugs, cold war espionage, quantum physics, and psychical research all come into play in a book that can only be described as monumental. Esalen is a prehistory of our current fascination with Asian religions, the story of our steadily growing acceptance of the supernatural in everyday life, and a surprising page-turner.
