In Rational Mysticism, acclaimed journalist John Horgan embarks on
an adventure of discovery, investigating the ways in which
scientists, theologians, and philosophers are attempting to
formulate an empirical explanation of spiritual enlightenment.
Horgan visits and interviews a fascinating Who's Who of experts,
including theologian Huston Smith; Andrew Newberg, explorer of the
brain's "God module"; Ken Wilber, a transpersonal psychologist and
Buddhist; psychedelic pharmacologist Alexander Shulgin;
Oxford-educated psychologist and Zen practitioner Susan Blackmore;
and postmodern shaman Terence McKenna. Horgan also explores the
effects of reputed enlightenment-inducing techniques such as
fasting, meditation, prayer, sensory deprivation, and drug trips.
In his lively and thought-provoking inquiry, Horgan finds
surprising connections among seemingly disparate disciplines, not
the least of which is a shared awe of the nature of the universe.
