John Wren-Lewis ; the down-under mystic

I came across this mystic sage, who actually had the guts to ' describe' his mystical experience. Many mystics refrained from that. Their constant refrain was - ' since word is not the thing, the description means, something is always lost in translation'.

I came across this gentleman - on amazon.com, when I was reading this review of Jiddu Krishnamurti's masterpiece, "Freedom from the known ". IN this very uncharitable review of his, one gentleman recommended reading of ( among others, such as Ann Faraday, Vandana Shiva etal ), John Wren-Lewis.

Visited Clusty. Many interesting websites popped up.

In the below site, there are valuable articles by Ramana Maharshi, Nisarga Datta Maharaj, Jiddu, Richard cose, John Wren-Lewis, William Samuel, Douglas Hardings, etc. Open this and read this in leisure.
