The Inner Dimension examines the philosophical significance of a remarkable family of experiences central to Eastern meditation traditions and reported by creative geniuses in the West from Plato through Einstein. Research on people practicing Eastern meditation techniques indicates that these experiences reflect widely accessible universal potentials of human awareness. Prof. Shear responds to this research by exploring the significance of these experiences for a wide range of philosophical issues--self, knowledge, mind-and-matter, creativity, values, human potential--as articulated by major Western philosophers such as Plato, Descartes, Hume, Kant, Mill and Wittgenstein. Its analysis is straightforwardly empirical and non-metaphysical. Its implications, however, are revolutionary.

Can awakened consciousness contribute to social change and, if so, how? David Nicol introduces the concept of "subtle activism" to describe the use of consciousness-based practices like meditation and prayer to support collective transformation, such as global meditation directed toward peaceful resolution of a conflict. Subtle activism represents a bridge between the consciousness movement and the movements for peace, environmental sustainability, and social justice. It is not a substitute for physical action but rather a potentially crucial component of a more integrated approach to social change. Although ancient lore is rife with tales of shamans and adepts intervening on spiritual levels for the benefit of humanity, this book is the first comprehensive treatment of this topic. Nicol grounds his consideration in the available scientific research and in dialogue with a broad range of thinkers in the fields of consciousness studies, transpersonal theory, and New Paradigm thought.

It is imperative for you to know that Salah is, without any doubt, the domain of tranquility for devotees, the enjoyment of the souls of monotheists, the garden of the worshippers, the essence of enjoyment of the humble ones and the scale measuring the mettle of those embarking on the right path. - Ibn Qayyim

The scientific point of view has gained dominance in our growing world culture by basing its authenticity on an empirical foundation. Yet mystics can point to a different test of authenticity: the broad agreement in subtle perceptions of reality across many cultures and stretches of history. We benefit from the knowledge of the universe and the fascinating intricacies of nature, and we benefit from knowledge of meaning and purpose in the greater life of the cosmos and its implications for meaning in our own lives. An understanding and appreciation of the inner life of the universe can offer an integration of the scientific story of the outer life with the insight of mystics into the inner story, distinguishing the realms appropriate for science and spirituality to explore, and offering hope that they can coexist in mutual respect and harmony, and that each could enrich the other.
