Inside the Invisible by psychologist and
priest Ken Kaisch is a profound exploration of the commonalities
among the six major world religions. Using the empirical tools of
scientific research, Dr. Kaisch unlocks the mysteries of the
spiritual realm. The book examines how different spiritual
traditions achieve union with the Divine, presenting a unified
model of contemplative spiritual development. It is the
clearest guide available for identifying the path to Enlightenment,
the path to union with God.
Part I: Challenging Our Preconceived Illusions
The book invites you to question established beliefs about God
and spirituality. It encourages readers to consider how much of
their understanding is based on hearsay rather than actual personal
experience. This section sets the stage for a deep dive into the
observable behaviors and practices that lead to a tangible
connection with the Divine.
Part II: Unveiling the Process of Spiritual Growth
In the second part, Kaisch delves into the transformative nature
of spiritual awakening, exploring how specific behavioral changes
result in profound shifts in one’s spiritual development. The
discussion shows the progress of the contemplative journey stage by
stage, including the inner logic that guides this grand unfolding
of human potential.
Part III: Insights from the Spiritual Masters
Kaisch presents a comparative study of spiritual practices from
Hinduism, Buddhism, Daoism, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. By
analyzing texts like the Yoga Sutras, the Path of Purification, and
the Interior Castle, the author shows the remarkable unity in the
spiritual paths described by these traditions. Despite theological
differences, the behaviors and outcomes of advanced spiritual
practitioners are shown to be strikingly similar.
Part IV: The Ultimate Revelation
Here we step into the realm of non-dual reality where the
illusion of separation dissolves. This final section illuminates
the pinnacle of spiritual achievement—where the self merges with
the Infinite, and you experience oneness with the universe.
Kaisch's insights will inspire you to transcend the mundane and
embrace your true divine nature.
Conclusion
By identifying the common elements in the mystical
practices of the major world religions, Kaisch provides a
comprehensive model for spiritual development that transcends
doctrinal boundaries. By utilizing a scientific approach to the
study of spirituality, we are finally able to discern the pathway
to union with God.
