Throughout twelve chapters derived from talks and lectures, Jäger helps the reader understand the mystical meaning of life. Also discusses the role of science and mysticism, the nature of transpersonal experience, the search for the Whole, the development of mystical experience in Eastern and Western religions, contemplative prayer as a Christian path, psychological and moral aspects of the inner path, and death as transformation.
Citing such diverse writers and thinkers as John of the Cross, Meister Eckhart, Ken Wilbur, John Cassian, Kabir, Gary Zukav, Daito Kokushi, and Zenkei Shibayama, Search for the Meaning of Life is an accessible explanation of the mystical journey from reason and knowledge to a direct experience of cosmic awareness and the ultimate reality.
