Скачать или смотреть LOTUS FEET OF CLAY, A Reluctant Mysti , John Wren Lewis, Narrated by Andrew Rowe

What happens when a man of science and reason is pulled—against his own skepticism—into the strange, luminous heart of mystical experience? In Lotus Feet of Clay, John Wren-Lewis, physicist, humanist, and self-declared “reluctant mystic,” turns his sharp eye on the gurus, movements, and spiritual empires that flourished in the late 20th century. With wit, courage, and a refusal to be dazzled by charisma or grand promises, he dissects the paradox of enlightenment seekers: the hunger for transcendence so often shackled by human vanity, delusion, and abuse of power.

Part memoir, part critique, and part cautionary tale, Wren-Lewis draws on his own near-death encounter with the infinite to ask hard questions: What is genuine mystical awakening? Why do so many movements falter on the clay feet of their leaders? And how can seekers separate illumination from illusion without abandoning wonder itself?

This is not an audiobook of easy answers. It is a bracing, unsettling, and ultimately liberating guide for anyone fascinated—or entangled—in the worlds of gurus, mystics, and spiritual promise.
