It took real courage to write this book, in which we are led on a journey to let go of our 'old time religions,' in order to directly experience the numinosity of everyday life. Jung called upon each of us to connect to the infinite and Jerry's book helps us do just that. I am deeply appreciative for this spiritual gift.

ï»Here Jerry R. Wright has woven together poems, personal journal entries, and informative psychological perspectives to show how a mystical pathway of encounter with the numinous is available to all - believer and nonbeliever alike - through the human psyche. These evocative pages will certainly encourage those with "a hunger for the holy" to join Jerry in this delicious banquet. Here we are invited to embrace a mature and authentic spirituality that acknowledges our capacities for both creation and destruction while honoring the divine mysteries deep within us, and in the larger world. The blessings written for Iona pilgrims alone are worth the price of admission. A beautiful read!

In describing A Mystical Path Less Traveled I will steal shamelessly from the author because it is hard to improve upon his own words. The book is "directed to those who have a hunger for the holy," and readers who fit that description will devour this book. In the sharing of journal entries, poems, blessings, and dreams, Jerry Wright opens his personal backpack filled with "both angels and monsters" and gives us a look at the outer world and inner world through his very perceptive eyes. This honest, sometimes gut wrenching, often humorous book sent "chills up my spine / And down to the soles of my feet."

Girl and Reimagining.
Carl Rodgers wrote: "That which is most personal is most universal." Dr. Wright in this psycho/spiritual worldview - A Mystical Path Less Traveled - provides a resource for all searchers on a spiritual path. With reflections on journal entries, poems, dreams, and blessings, he provides an excellent resource for those who seek meaning and purpose.
