Nonduality and Mind Only through the Prism of Reality

In this ground-breaking book, spiritual philosopher L. Ron Gardner provides a unique and profound paradigm to explain nonduality and Mind-Only idealism from both a "top-down" and a "bottom-up" perspective. Integrating Kabbalistic (Tree of Life) theosophy, Kashmir Shaivism's (36-tattva) schema, Hegelian phenomenology, and astrology, Gardner provides a multi-dimensional description of the "prismatic" intermundia that links unmanifest Mind (the Supreme Source of emanation and creation) with the terrestrial world we humans inhabit.In addition to elaborating his own nonduality and Mind (or Consciousness)-Only philosophy, Gardner critiques the works of prominent authors-Bernardo Kastrup, Donald Hoffman, Rupert Spira, David R. Loy, Jay Michelsen, and Robert Wolfe-who write and pontificate on the subject, and finds them deeply flawed and limited.Gardner, never one to shy from controversy, applies his paradigm to explain the polarizing sociopolitical and sociocultural issues that are dividing America, and how they can be resolved. Regardless of the zeitgeist or political climate, Gardner contends that his synthesizing solution is the only one that can truly make America great again.
