The naked now: learning to see as the mystics see

Why I am writing this book

The gift is already given

When you surrender to fear and distraction

When you joyfully surrender to God

Discover your birthright

Prayer-practicing heaven now

The great unsaying

Three ways to view the sunset

The urgent need for contemplative seeing

What it means to be a mystic

We should have known better

Knowing worse: all-or-nothing thinking

Knowing better: contemplation and presence

Mystical Christianity: a critique from within

A lesson from the monks

The limitations of individualism

A debate everyone can win

Glimpses of wonder: the quest is begun

But we have to make judgments, don't we?

We see what we are ready to see

The radical perceptual shift: is it true?

Yes, but

Not many things, but one thing

Gradual conversion

How Martha becomes Mary: willfulness and willingness

What about Jesus?

The prayer of Jesus

Not here, not there

The two heels of a Christian achilles

Conversion: begin by changing the seer

Healing the observer

Three levels of conversion

Change your mind

The ego hates change

Different religions, same ego resistance

Inertia resists change

Heaven and hell: you must change again and again

Things too good to be true: from polarity thinking to prayer

Reframing false dilemmas

Alternative consciousness

Prayer is resonance

Experience impossible and improbable things

The lost tradition

The decline of contemplation

More recent rediscoveries

Faith is more how to believe than what to believe

Opening the door: great love and great suffering

What nondual thinking is not

The watchful gaze: what do we mean by being awake?

The meaning of spiritual love

Sinners, mystics, and astrophysicists: how to celebrate paradox

The value of paradox

Greek logic

Trinity

Physics and astrophysics

What it means to follow Jesus

What every good leader knows

The principle of likeness: in the end, it all comes down to this.
