Excerpts from the book, Meditation and Light Visions, and from other Publications


Here I'm making available for your inspection copies of Chapters 1 and 8 from my book.  Also included is a sample chart from Chapter 2 (Overview of Light Vision Metaphors in Asian Texts) and the List of Figures and Tables.  In addition, there are copies of two earlier articles that address similar subjects--an examination of meditation-induced light visions in early Chinese Daoism (that is, antedating the influence of Buddhist missionaries) and an extended, 3-part analysis of light visions in the hymns of the Indo-Aryan Rig Veda.
