About
Extreme Spirituality is any experience -- firewalking, piercing our skin, or humbly serving others -- that shows how our egos mask, limit, distort, or diminish our knowledge of a greater reality. Over twenty extreme spiritual practices are highlighted, showing how even unpleasant or dangerous situations can help us experience how love, wisdom, compassion, and interconnection reveal aspects of our divine nature and provide a clear distinction between our egos and our "higher-selves." Using many different extreme spiritual practices as examples, this book logically and enthusiastically teaches people how to assume a spiritual perspective in any situation. As a result, even sorrowful or frustrating situations don't have to cause as much suffering, because we can choose our reactions to them and use them as insights for spiritual growth.
