The Wisdom Way of Knowing by Cynthia Bourgeault

5.0

I am a huge fan of Cynthia's work and this book does not disappoint. It is a short course in ancient Wisdom tradition and its aim is to 'traverse the 12 inches between the brain and the heart'. It gives just enough historical background, pulled skilfully from various wisdom tradition, and marries it with powerful daily practices that are very simple yet profound. If you are a spiritual seeker that likes to be inspired by a variety of sources: Sufism, hermeticism, Gnosticism, mystical Christianity and others, you will find this book hugely inspiring.
