Burning Toward Transcendence is an edited collection of extracts from the journals of Kenneth Rose that detail his meditative, visionary, and psychic experiences over the last six decades. These extracts are meant to evoke the sense of spiritual reality that has long been a major aspect of his experience. Sharing these experiences is not meant to turn a spotlight on the author but to awaken a thirst for the divine, for a burning toward transcendence, in this banal and materialistic age when such experiences are often discounted, mocked, or seen as impossible. Reading about these experiences suggest that they aren’t not limited to remote and rare figures in the past because in the global spiritual awakening over the last sixty years, increasingly more people are accessing spiritual realms of experience once thought to be accessible only to a small band of yogis and saints . Burning Toward Transcendence is a contribution to the spread of that awakening.
