Black cloth with gold spine lettering. Tight bright book with a faultless interior. FOURTH VOLUME of a four-volume series that aims to initiate the reader not only into a new science but also into a way of thinking that is as old as humanity, though perhaps new for many today. Our purpose here is to distinguish informative thinking from formative thinking. Most readers may be familiar with the former, but puzzled by the latter. The informative approach is customary in our culture, our sciences, our daily life. Its results are most impressive; at times, as in the technological conquest of outer space, awesome. The results of informative thinking are most useful in many fields of inquiry, including the science of formative spirituality. However, exclusive dependence on in- formative thought alone does not seem sufficient for the full flowering of our life and world. Human thought also has to help people find ways to live more consonant, happier lives, making the world a better place for them and succeeding generations. To be sure, the majority of informative thinkers and researchers also aim at such improvement, but in a more remote or indirect way. Their insights and findings contribute greatly to its realization, but the missing link between their in- formative efforts and the concrete daily life of people is formative, thinking.
