Transcendentalism : A New Revelation (Electronic book text)

I am a rational, logical, spiritual but non-religious sixty-six year old successful businessman and California Real Estate Broker. I had a weird spiritual interaction fifty-one years during a near-death-experience. In September 2001 I had two additional distinct spiritual interactions and I then came to the conclusion to relay the message. It resulted when, via meditation, my state of consciousness was placed into a trance. I perceived a transference of consciousness from the physical plane to another inner and superior plane, accompanied by awareness and memory of the experience. It is necessary to distinguish between an astral-psychic experience and a truly psyche-spiritual one. The former is delusive, the latter is the state of illumination spoken of by Plotinus, resulting from the true asceticism of the disciple and in its highest form is the same as the high stage of meditation; "the liberation of the mind from its finite consciousness, becoming one and identified with the Infinite".
