Non Buddhist Mysticism: Performing Irreducible and Primitive Presence in Bloomington, MN

In the enlivening tradition of the dramaturgy to "adapt a story to actable form," Non Buddhist Mysticism presents a radical reorientation to "spiritual" practice. Drawing from François Laruelle's concept of future mysticism and the author's own previous work on non-buddhism, Glenn Wallis galvanizes a materialist spirituality for the twenty-first century. Liberated from the punctilious gaze of the masters, delivered into the hands (and hearts) of the reader, this is a spirituality "born in the spirit of heresy rather than sanctity." The intended outcome is a subject "fit for the clash with Hell"- a person equipped, lovingly and compassionately, to confront the injustices of the world.
