What is the true test of spirituality? Is it loyalty to a master,
group, or teaching? Or is it having the courage to act on one's
deepest convictions, even in the face of disapproval and sanction?
This is the question that confronts Kip Morgan. Kip is a karma
seeker-an individual committed to testing himself by means of his
own choices. For such people, who are engaged in an experiment with
unknown forces, there is no way to prove that they are fit to
discover what they seek except by doing it. As a young man, Kip
joins the League, one of the burgeoning new age spiritual groups of
the late 1960s and early 1970s. He learns the fundamentals of its
teachings, which involve cultivating inner experiences through
contemplation, dreams, and out-of-body experiences. The high point
of his experience comes with his initiation into the League's inner
circle, a transcendent event that significantly alters his view of
life. It doesn't take long, however, before he discovers how
fragile this experience is, and how difficult it is to hold on to
his new state of consciousness. Kip embarks on a quest that takes
him beyond the confines of the League. Eventually, he comes to
question the group's claim to exclusivity, and to see it as merely
a portal to a universal spiritual path. As he becomes less reliant
on the League and its members for support and guidance, he is torn
between his personal vision of truth and his fear of spiritual
failure. This puts him on a collision course with the League
President, the group's ultimate spiritual authority. The Karma
Seeker is a far-reaching guidebook to contemporary spirituality. It
presents the reader with the essential paradigm of the modern
spiritual path-its highs and lows, its rewards and pitfalls. It
illustrates how individuals who embark on such a path are tested in
the areas of their greatest deficiency in order to build up their
spiritual strength, all so that they may eventually become active
participants in their own destiny.
