Thoughts on Spirit - Going Bush and Walkabout (But Not in Australia), The Trance State as a Religious Experience, Have You Tamed Your Ox Lately? (Paperback)

How deep do the mystical waters run within you? For some, it's much deeper than others.

In "Going Bush and Walkabout (But Not in Australia), " I discuss what pertained to my own experiences of going bush and walkabout - without leaving the United States.

In "The Trance State as a Religious Experience, " I point out that trances are not necessarily signs of mental illness. I also point out that trance states were a part of the religious experience in early Christianity.

Finally, in "Have You Tamed Your Ox Lately?, " I take the Zen Buddhist Ox-Herding pictures and provide questions and commentary that are intended to make them more accessible to readers in North America and Europe, for instance.
