Mystics, Masters, Saints and Sages
I would like to recommend a masterpiece of a book called, “Mystics, Masters, Saints and Sages: Stories of Enlightenment.” The book came out in 2001, and it was compiled by Robert Ullman and Judyth Reichenberg-Ullman. I own a paperback edition of this book.What I like about this book is that it covers centuries of various people, starting with The Buddha and ending with Suzanne Segal. There are 30 individuals noted, including Rumi, Saint John of the Cross, Ramana Maharshi, Ramesh Balsekar, and Bernadete Roberts.What is neat about this book is that there is a one-page biography of the individual, followed by samples of some of his or her writings. There are photographs of some individuals.You may not agree with the 30 people selected, but it is a valuable resource.

This is a good book. I read it when it first came out. I should revisit it. Currently reading - Your Soul's Compass and The Unfolding Now

For those interested in Bernadette Roberts' work, a new essay by her (not found in any of her books) has just been posted online, which, on the one hand, distinguishes her work from paradigms of nonduality, and on the other, demonstrates the coherence of her views with Christian Trinitarianism. It is titled, "Reply to James Arraj' Comments on Bernadette Roberts," and can be found at:
