Walden III In Search of A Utopian Nirvana

Every half century there is a leap in understanding that has the potential to shape and revitalize the context and direction of psychology and spirituality. Following in the historic footsteps of Henry David Thoreau's Walden and B. F. Skinner's Walden II, Walden III: In Search of a Utopian Nirvana arguably represents such a contextual leap.Using a six-pronged approach, which incorporates Buddhism with the Advaita-Vedanta in the East and neuroscience, linguistics, philosophy, and Quantum Physics in the West, Dr. Wolinsky, speaking through the voice of "A" (a "Teacher"), answers our most essential questions by deconstructing our most deeply held structures and archetypes. This integrative approach catapults us beyond postmodernism itself and to the age of post-deconstructionism by introducing a scientific approach to psychology and spirituality which forms a contextual backbone for the twenty-first century.In Walden III, Dr. Wolinsky brings together the beauty and simplicity of Buddhism as directly taught by the Buddha and Advaita-Vedanta as taught directly to him by Nisargadatta Maharaj, utilizing and incorporating this with the science of the twenty-first century. This integration produces a spirituality whose understanding contains a scientific power and punch which shatters and puts to rest unquestioned myths and ritualistic frameworks. This dynamic process propels us and sets in motion the spiritual age of a scientific post-deconstruction by transmitting the sound of one hand clapping.
