description: "This book is a journey back to the source–not only of western civilization but, more importantly, to the source within you. Read it! To understand it is to be transformed."ECKHART TOLLE, author of The Power of NowReality introduces us to the extraordinary mystical tradition that lies right at the roots of western culture. This is the true story of Parmenides, Empedocles, and those like them: spiritual guides and experts in other states of consciousness, healers and interpreters of dreams, prophets and magicians who laid the foundation for the world we now live in. Reality documents the excruciating process that led to their work and teaching being distorted, covered over, forgotten. And most importantly, it presents these original teachings in all their immediacy and power -- revealing their ability, just as vibrant now as at the dawn of the western world, to awaken us to what reality truly is."Stunningly original, Reality is momentous in its implications."HUSTON SMITH, author of The World's Religions and Forgotten Truth"Peter Kingsley is a successor to Carl Jung and Joseph Campbell. His lectures and writings—especially his latest book, Reality—reveal hidden dimensions of consciousness and how it manifests in the world. His message conveys hope and meaning, and reveals majestic qualities of the mind we have forgotten and which have been ignored by Western 'authorities' for centuries. Peter Kingsley is a transformative and life-changing force in our world. Never have we needed such a message as now."LARRY DOSSEY, M.D., author of Healing Beyond the Body, Reinventing Medicine and Healing Words"This book contains the purest and most powerful writing I have ever read."MICHAEL BAIGENT, author of Ancient Traces and The Holy Blood and The Holy Grail
