Spiritual Improvement - The Real Samsara

Many people feel they are an isolated ego or an individual soul trapped inside a bag of skin, giving rise to a great metaphysical conundrum: How is the ego or soul to liberate itself from the confines of the flesh? In this thought-provoking book, Scott Erickson dares to ask a question sitting at the core of our lives: Is it possible to improve our spiritual nature, or is every attempt to do so nothing more than tomfoolery? To find an answer, Erickson takes the reader on a whirling adventure into the human mind and the world of spiritual ambition. Erickson's principal objective: to determine whether spiritual discipline does indeed lead to liberation or merely keeps one trapped in a vicious cycle, otherwise known as samsara.
