Mystic, shaman, oracle, priest (MYSHOP)

About this book

Based on personal experience with Daoists in China, Tendai Tantric Buddhist Masters in Kyoto, Japan, the Shaman of Imwangsan, Seoul, Korea, possessed mediums in Taiwan, Piegan medicine practices of the Blackfoot reservation in Montana, the late Hawaiian Kahuna Ed Kealanahele, and Jewish artist/Kabala practitioner Joe Singer, as well as other on-site experiences, the teachings and practices of these men and women spiritual masters are structurally analyzed and compared with the four steps to "apophatic union" form of mystic experience taught in the classical works of Ignatius of Loyola and Gregory of Nyssa.
