Encounters With Isis: A Wayfarer's Notes On Her Teachings

A literary scholar, the author of ?ncounters with Isis?escaped pedantry and postmodernism by expatriating himself from the United States and immersing himself in the cultures of West Africa and Indonesia, where Nature reveals herself while stripping away the veils of his own ignorance. An unanticipated and unsought spiritual experience in Indonesia opens him to the realm of mysticism and magic, where he finds even the explanations of Jungian psychology reach a point of diminishing returns, and where he discovers a life of the mind quite apart from the ?umanities?in the United States, as beleaguered as they have become. The Javanese have a proverb: ?ife is a pause on a journey towards a cup of tea." 9781484960271 1484960270 146 Travel NOT_MATURE http://books.google.com/books/content?id=8Dn7oAEACAAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=5&source=gbs_api en
