"This book is a journey back to the source–not only of western civilization but, more importantly, to the source within you. Read it! To understand it is to be transformed."
ECKHART TOLLE
author of The Power of Now
"Stunningly original, Reality is momentous in its implications. This book is aimed at one of the highest ends I can imagine—to restore to us the understanding that the original purpose of Greek philosophy was to launch the Western mind on a profoundly spiritual course. It shows, in a way which to my eyes is completely convincing, that the founders of philosophy were not just proto-physicists whose ingenious conjectures have long been shelved. They were spiritual giants whose understandings have not been surpassed and may never be surpassed."
HUSTON SMITH
author of The World's Religions and Forgotten Truth
"This book contains the purest and most powerful writing I have ever read."
MICHAEL BAIGENT
author of Ancient Traces and The Holy Blood and The Holy Grail
"There are few writers today you must read. Peter Kingsley is one of them. With absolute clarity he writes about the most challenging issues, and at the same time is inspiring in the most ancient sense: filling us with spirit and hope. His words will change the way you imagine your life."
THOMAS MOORE
author of Care of the Soul and Dark Nights of the Soul
"Peter Kingsley is a successor to Carl Jung and Joseph Campbell. His lectures and writings—especially his latest book, Reality—reveal hidden dimensions of consciousness and how it manifests in the world. His message conveys hope and meaning, and reveals majestic qualities of the mind we have forgotten and which have been ignored by Western 'authorities' for centuries. Peter Kingsley is a transformative and life-changing force in our world. Never have we needed such a message as now."
LARRY DOSSEY, M.D.
author of Healing Beyond the Body, Reinventing Medicine, and Healing Words
"Dr. Kingsley's remarkable new book, Reality, is extraordinarily valuable. It would be difficult not to conclude that, through his research into our past, he has found the key to the modern world impasse."
ROBERT A. JOHNSON
author of He, She, Inner Work, and Balancing Heaven & Earth
"This epochal work is not only a seminal study of the origins of Western thought. It also is a guide for the rediscovery of truths which lie hidden in the souls and minds of men and women today—and which urgently need to be brought to light in a world groping in so much spiritual and intellectual darkness. It seeks nothing less than to reveal the original nature of Western philosophy in its true, but long forgotten, sense. And through doing so it forces contemporary human beings to reexamine what it means to be human."
SEYYED HOSSEIN NASR
author of Knowledge and the Sacred and Religion and the Order of Nature
"With its startling blend of spiritual passion and the bold vision of a consummate scholar, this remarkable book invites us—even to the point of demanding us—to open our eyes to the unseen realities nourishing the ancient roots of our civilization. Of even more importance, it invites us to the great work of opening ourselves to the mystical reality that is calling from within to each and every one of us."
JACOB NEEDLEMAN
author of The Heart of Philosophy and The American Soul
