"Connais-toi toi-même" est un dicton universel, venu des siècles et de toutes les sources de sagesse. A l'aube du 21ème siècle, il est devenu totalement authentique que la connaissance de soi exige une compréhension de différents domaines de recherche, non seulement de différentes écoles de psychologie, mais des champs divers comme l'anthropologie, la linguistique, la neurologie, le yoga, aussi bien que des apports venus de la physique quantique et des explorations empiriques d'états alternatifs de conscience.
"Know thyself" is a universal dictum passed down the centuries from all sources of wisdom. As the 21st century dawns, it has become apparent authentic self-knowledge requires comprehension of various fields of research, not only the many schools of psychology, but fields as diverse as anthropology, linguistics, neurology, and yoga, as well as insights stimulated by quantum physics and empirical explorations of alternate states of consciousness. A balanced interweaving of these and other approaches to the mind, such as literature and art, facilitates an extensive grasp of our human predicament, which is indispensable for an individual's inner growth. But covering all this requires years of full time research. How could one possibly go about such an endeavor when caught up with today's pace of schooling and career? Is there a solution? What if someone were to spend half a century traveling the earth, accumulating such significant knowledge along with vast worldly experience, then skillfully condense it all into one book? Remarkably, this has been accomplished
Author, poet, artist, Lew Paz set out forty years ago to pursue a life of Zorba the Greek adventure merged with Socratic questioning of all knowledges, which developed into a spiritual quest of the most compelling sort. After four decades of hard road travel over half the earth, Paz spent seven years condensing his accumulation of knowledge into one truly informative work, Pushing Ultimates. This book is gradually being internationally recognized for it's original approach to the ultimate questions concerning the human situation. It has recently been accepted for distribution in the UK by Gazelle Books, one of the largest distributors in Western Europe.
Pushing Ultimates is a challenging, enriching journey, encompassing the evolution of consciousness, while skillfully weaving mysticism, theology, psychology, philosophy, quantum physics, neurology, music, art, into meaningful and relevant patterns of clarification, never losing sight of the central theme–the endeavor to realize bottom line truths concerning our place amid the wild wonder of it all, and Paz accomplishes this without succumbing to New Age credulity or sterile scientific skepticism. Every person truly concerned with the essence of philosophical inquiry and spiritual growth should have a copy close at hand.
