As spirituality evolves, it places increasing emphasis on spiritual
experience. And now, our understanding of what spiritual experience
is and how it works is being expanded and deepened by the work of
integral philosopher Steve McIntosh. In his new book The Presence
of the Infinite, McIntosh charts a compelling trajectory to a
post-postmodern spirituality that can help us have spiritual
experience more abundantly, and use it more effectively to empower
our work in the world. I'm especially impressed with the way
McIntosh integrates the experience of nondual emptiness with the
experience of a loving Creator, showing how these alternative
conceptions of ultimate reality can actually serve to true each
other up. This book is a historically significant masterpiece that
should be read by every serious spiritual practitioner. --Jeff

In The Presence of the Infinite, integral philosopher Steve
McIntosh shares his infectious passion for evolutionary
spirituality. As McIntosh shows, once we begin to recognize that
the science of evolution actually presents a profound spiritual
teaching of its own, this can help us reinterpret and reaffirm
humanity's deepest religious insights. In this extraordinary book,
McIntosh brilliantly lays out a Higher Synthesis of Eastern and
Western spirituality that is both deeply instructive and profoundly
inspiring to anyone whose soul is craving to take the next step.
Highly recommended! --Andrew Cohen, Author of Evolutionary
Enlightenment and Founder of What Is Enlightenment? magazine--

In the Middle Ages, great Christian theologians developed a range
of rational arguments for the existence of God. Many of those
arguments have been discredited in the centuries since Galileo,
Newton, Darwin, Freud, Einstein, and Hubble. As a result, belief in
God or spirit, or any transcendence at all, has been slipping away,
often leaving a reduced and empty world in its wake. Steve McIntosh
is a leading philosopher seeking to rediscover transcendence--not
apart from scientific evidence, but by interpreting it afresh. I
find his work--especially The Presence of the Infinite--helpful,
stimulating, and inspiring in my own work as a Christian thinker,
writer, and activist. --Brian D. McLaren, Author of A New Kind of
Christianity, and host of brianmclaren.net-- "Reviews"
McIntosh has written another important and groundbreaking book. The
Presence of the Infinite helps establish the central significance
of the beautiful, the good, and the true as the foundation of human
wellbeing. By shining the light of integral philosophy onto the
subject of spiritual experience and spiritual leadership, McIntosh
convincingly describes the future course of humanity's spiritual
evolution. Reading this book is a spiritual experience in its own
right. --John Mackey, Co-Founder and CEO of Whole Foods Markets,
and Co-Author of Conscious Capitalism-- "Reviews"
Steve McIntosh has become our leading voice for making the case
that human beings can evolve far beyond the levels we've so far
attained. By telling the story of spirituality through the Platonic
notions of truth, beauty and goodness, he grounds the evolutionary
journey in a specific path we can each walk. More broadly, he
defines a new and inspiring method for reconciling the polarization
and paralysis that divide us as we try to navigate the future of
our imperiled planet. --Tony Schwartz, bestselling author, and
founder and CEO of the Energy Project consulting firm-- "Reviews"
