The Way of Selflessness
A Practical Guide to Enlightenment
Based on the Teachings of the
World's Great Mystics
It must have been providence that directed Joel Morwood to dig in the right place, for he struck a lode of pure gold, as wide (comprehensive) as it is deep (profound). What he mined from that lode is a spiritual treasure.- Huston Smith, author of The World's Religions: Our Great Wisdom Traditions
The Way of Selflessness is a very fine introduction to, and overview of, the spiritual path. It is clear and accessible for newcomers, but even more impressive is the way that Morwood shows the relationships among different traditions and practices. It also sparkles with little-known quotations from the great masters.- David Loy, author of Money, Sex, War, Karma: Notes for a Buddhist Revolution
Joel Morwood
The fruition of over twenty years guiding students on the spiritual path, The Way of Selflessness is an instruction manual for anyone who wishes to follow the universal teachings and practices of the mystical contemplatives from the world's major religious traditions. In his down-to-earth and practical style, Morwood distills these teachings to their clear essence and presents them in generic terms suitable for all seekers, both those who belong to an established religious tradition and those who do not.
Joel Morwood is the Spiritual Director of the Center for Sacred Sciences, a non-profit organization dedicated to the study and dissemination of the teachings of the world's mystical traditions. Joel is also the author of Naked Through the Gate: A Spiritual Autobiography and Through Death's Gate: A Guide to Selfless Dying.
