Description: "This cross-cultural examination first explores the varieties of conscious experience and reflects on the attempts to understand and explain consciousness in the Western scholarly and scientific tradition. The second section deals with Eastern spiritual traditions and how they differ from and complement the Western viewpoints. In the final chapters the two traditions are reconciled for a comprehensive understanding."--BOOK JACKET.
