*About the Book*



While a rational consciousness grasps many truths, Gananath Obeyesekere
believes an even richer knowledge is possible through a bold confrontation
with the stuff of visions and dreams. Spanning both Buddhist and European
forms of visionary experience, he fearlessly pursues the symbolic,
nonrational depths of such phenomena, reawakening the intuitive, creative
impulses that power greater understanding.
