Hixon provides a somewhat idiosyncratic yet fascinating and informative view of ten paths to enlightenment, moving from the contemplative views of Heidegger and Krishnamurti through the tantrism of Ramakrishna and the naturalism of Ramana Maharishi to the Zen ox-herding pictures, Mother Serena (a contemporary Rosicrucian teacher), the Hasidic masters, and Paul of Tarsus seen as a mystic announcing the new age of divine-human union. Included are Hixon's consultations of the I Ching and an explication of Turiya as taught by Advaita Vedanta and experienced by Hixon with Swami Nikhilananda as his teacher. Though the tone is not consistent--some chapters are philosophical, others personal, still others purely expository--the book is certainly worth consideration.
