This title includes life-saving advice on trials that arise inevitably on the quest. "The Sensitives" is a timely, informed evaluation of mysticism, paranormal experience, sects and cults. Grounded in a clear distinction between productive spiritual practice and occult sidetracks, it reports on: how to distinguish self-flattering illusions from authentic spiritual intuitions; what draws people (leaders and followers) to cults; how to distinguish authentic spiritual teachers from dogmatic or deluded cult leaders; how to bring the rational and the mystical into creative harmony.
