"Douglas Hodgson's involvement with legal education and university administration has spanned over four decades in Canada, England, Australia and New Zealand. As a lawyer, teacher, researcher, author and human rights advocate, his interest in religious discrimination and religious fundamentalism issues motivated him to engage in the study of the scriptures of the world's religions, ultimately inspiring him to write ""Transcendental Spirituality, Wisdom and Virtue: The Divine Virtues and Treasures of the Heart"". He lives in Perth, Western Australia."
"At a time of increasing mainstream acceptance of the near-death and other extraordinary experiences, this book gifts poetic insight to many of the core themes that make such experiences so exceptional. Importantly, it does so through the direct voices of the experiencers. As many ancient wisdom paths teach, it is not the spiritual experience itself that matters most, but rather, what one does with the wisdom gained. The revelations you will find within may bring solace to those wondering if there really is ""More"" than the mundane world, and what (if anything) might happen beyond this physical life. But more significantly, when the insights within are truly integrated and lived in one's day to day life, we can immediately end much needless suffering on this planet and begin to truly embody more of our collective human potential. And THAT is most exciting!--Dr Nicole Gruel, PhD in Transpersonal Psychology, Life Coach to Experiencers of the Extraordinary, Lead Facilitator of IANDS Sharing Groups Online"
