This book has been written to share many of the now available insights into what our God is really like. The two sources for these insights are clearly identified by Paul in Romans 1:19-20. What God is really like has been revealed to us through the biblical record and by the things he has made. This volume honors both sources of insight. Many insights are drawn from Genesis, Exodus, Daniel, Hebrews, John' Revelations and The Four Gospels; each of these gospels provides us a different perspective on who Jesus really was. John's Revelation provides us the climax of what is now becoming visible to us. The Geological Survey of Israel has compiled a two-volume set entitled Research in Sinai (1967-1980). This excellent work provides us the physical basis for understanding what happened during all the experiences in the Holy Land. This published work was written at the Graduate School level and has been provided in easy to visualize language for today's readers. My background in military matters has provided me with the special insights into land warfare in Old Testament times up to the present. Although John never saw tanks, helicopters, personnel carriers, etc., he described them as they appeared to him in his visions. The literary framework of John's Revelation is that of Apocalyptic Literature. This style is clearly revealed in Daniel's visions. Not understanding this has led to the many conflicting interpretations of John's Revelations. The use of all the currently available sources will provide us with a much more complete view of who Jesus was, is and will forever be. He is the foundation upon which the abundant life of John 10:10 can be built.

A groundbreaking and hopeful new look at contemporary spirituality, transpersonal psychology, integral education, and religious diversity and pluralism. Participation and the Mystery is both an introduction to and expansion of Jorge N. Ferrer’s groundbreaking work on participatory spirituality, which holds that human beings are active cocreators of spiritual phenomena, worlds, and even ultimates. After examining the impact of his work since the publication of Revisioning Transpersonal Theory, Ferrer discusses the relationship between science and transpersonal psychology, the nature of a fully embodied spirituality, and the features of integral spiritual practice. The book also introduces a participatory philosophy of education and applies it to the academic teaching of mysticism and a novel approach to embodied spiritual inquiry. Critically engaging the influential work of Stanislav Grof, Ken Wilber, and A. H. Almaas, Ferrer concludes with an original solution to the problem of religious pluralism that affirms the ontological richness of religious worlds while avoiding the extremes of perennialism and contextualism, offering a hopeful vision for the future of world religion. Participation and the Mystery is an invaluable resource to anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of participatory approaches to transpersonal psychology, integral and contemplative education, contemporary spirituality, and religious studies. “In Participation and the Mystery, we are given the opportunity to dive into the engaging, provocative, and stunningly erudite thought of Jorge N. Ferrer, arguably one of the premier transpersonal theorists of our time. Building on the key essays written after the publication of his seminal work, Revisioning Transpersonal Theory, Ferrer shows us how his compelling and extremely fertile participatory model can be applied, with intriguing and rewarding results, to multiple, highly distinct fields of discourse. Read this book if you want your worldview to be both challenged and enriched.” — G. William Barnard, author of Living Consciousness: The Metaphysical Vision of Henri Bergson “Ferrer is a leading figure in transpersonal psychology. His participatory perspective explains both the deep commonalities and the creative diversity of spiritual traditions. It provides a way to understand the general phenomenon of spirituality without falling prey to ideological dogmatism or the tendency to privilege one’s own spiritual tradition or practice over others. Ferrer’s work deserves to be widely read.” — Michael Washburn, author of Transpersonal Psychology in Psychoanalytic Perspective “This is an important collection of essays from one of the leading contemporary thinkers in transpersonal studies. Ferrer’s participatory approach represents the most significant development in transpersonal theory and practice to have emerged this century, and this book is the ideal introduction to Ferrer’s work. It will become required reading for all students of transpersonal psychology, as well as for anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of transformational practice, transpersonal education, spirituality, and religion.” — Michael Daniels, author of Shadow, Self, Spirit: Essays in Transpersonal Psychology “Rich and thought-provoking, this book ranges widely through Ferrer’s reflections on the participatory worldview in relation to psychology, education, and religion.” — Andrew O.
