This is the selfsame question the Buddha asked all those thousands of years ago, and the question we still have to ask today. ‘Sceptical spirituality’ means approaching all doctrines and all religious practices with the same healthy suspicion as you would any worldly in other words, do these practices work, and are these doctrines accurate and helpful ? If not, let’s look elsewhere. After all, we’re trying to save ourselves, not make matters worse. Including such topics What is Metaphysics ? Krishnamurti Explained The Perpetual Emptiness of Academic Philosophy Meister Eckhart & the Godhead Zen, Satori & Truth Enlightenment and ‘permanent non-dual awareness’ Buddhism & psychotherapy PETER EASTMAN has been teaching and counselling students of Independent Buddhism for over forty years, and he has also written extensively on spiritual metaphysics. He has degrees in Psychology, Philosophy and Buddhist Studies from the University of London.
