Modern man has found that material achievements are failing him,
but in his escape from despair, he has become an easy prey for the
deceptive cult of "Zen-Existentialism." There has emerged a mode of
radical "New Humanism" with its emphasis on "human autonomy." In
place of the God-man appears the "man-god." There is a search for
the "world within," the "limitless inner space," the "expansion of
consciousness," and the transcendental experience of "Satori."
First published in 1969, this book prophetically anticipated the
growth of New Age developments in the decades to follow. Lit-sen
Chang directly spoke to the Hippie movement of his day, which was
then seeking various means of transcendence through drugs and
eastern mysticism.This book also reflects fifty years of bitter
experiences of the author's spiritual pilgrimage and shows how he
was miraculously delivered by the grace and power of God from his
"cul-de-sac." Chang writes of the utter futility of the fantasy of
the East, analyzes the root causes of the crises in the West, and
points out the doom of auto-soterism after his careful diagnosis of
the human problem in cultural, philosophical, religious, and
theological terms.
