本书探讨了那些渴望上帝/开悟（Enlightenment）之人的意识状态，这种状态会将人引向许多东方传统中所描述的终极目标——正念/无心（mindfulness/mindlessness）。个体必须达到一种全然活在当下、不抱预设或个人图谋的境地，才能体会到与万物合一（Union）的恒久体验。

……例如，在中世纪的“圣读”（Lectio Divina，http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lectio_Divina）中，人会挑出经文里的几个字，反复朗读、揣摩并深思好几分钟。《未知之云》（The Cloud of Unknowing）建议对“上帝”这个概念、或者像“爱”这样简单的词做类似的事情。实际上，哪怕只做20分钟，这也是一项相当硬核的心智训练。
…For example, in the medieval Lectio Divina (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lectio_Divina), one takes a few words of scripture and repeats them and considers them and ponders them for many minutes. The Cloud of Unknowing recommends doing something similar with the concept of God, or with a simple word such as "love". This is actually a pretty tough mental exercise to do for even just 20 minutes.

…the Yoga Sutra of Patanjali are a good place to start), and Buddhism has many branches with deeply esoteric traditions. Christianity on the other hand has a few minor mystical texts and thinkers (The Cloud of Unknowing, Meister Eckhart, etc), but no real established traditions. Unless, that is you consider the Occult.
