This treatise argues that the quest for the spirit is not a rare mystical experience, but a frequent expression of basic human impulses, rooted in our biological, psychological and social nature. It presents the quest in the myths and religious practices of tribal people throughout the world. Shaman and scientist, medium and poet all have ventured forth in the quest of visionary truths to transform and renew the world. In theorizing about the quest, this study draws on thinkers as diverse as Freud, Darwin and Chomsky.
