The Notebooks of Paul Brunton Vol. 1: Perspectives
About This Book
Paul Brunton spent his final decades distilling his decades of spiritual inquiry into notebooks that were published posthumously as a sixteen-volume series. The first volume — Perspectives — serves as an overview and introduction to the entire Brunton corpus, drawing the most essential and universal passages from all sixteen categories. It presents his mature philosophical vision: the Overself (the Higher Self or divine spark within each person) as the object of the spiritual quest, accessible through meditation, self-inquiry, and grace.
What You'll Learn
The Overself is not a distant God but the innermost reality of one's own being — closer than thought, more intimate than feeling. The philosophic life requires both meditation (turning inward) and wisdom (clear understanding) — neither alone is sufficient. The recognition of the Overself does not remove one from the world but gives one the capacity to be in it without being of it.
