" Higher " forms of Buddhism have a degenerative philosophy of history according to which a sort of Golden Age was disrupted by the rise and gradual development of knowledge and the delusion inherent in it, which have reached their apex in our time—the final phase of the " Era of Darkness. " From this standpoint, this paper intends to show science, in which Marcuse saw an inherent instrumental / technological interest, to have been developed by delusion and to have simultaneously furthered the development of delusion, to the point at which they begot the deadly ecological crisis proper to this concluding phase of the Era of Darkness—which reveals as such the delusion at its root, achieving the latter's empirical reductio ad absurdum and offering us the possibility of eradicating it and thus healing our minds and, hopefully, our world. Elias Capriles has published fourteen books in five countries, posted five book drafts in his University Webpage and published forty-nine articles and thirteen book chapters in many countries, on an array of subjects. He has lectured worldwide and his work is discussed in many publications. He sits on the Board of the International Transpersonal Association and several Boards of Editors.

The regular text and the footnotes are missing a last proofreading, revision and correction. The footnotes involve excessive repetition because I decided they should serve the function of a glossary. The reasons for this are that often the same term is rendered in different ways according to context; that different terms are often rendered in the same way; and that I did not want the reader to have to stop reading to go to the end of the book in order to find out what was the term that was being rendered in a certain way. Therefore, before the book's publication I will have to reduce repetition in footnotes to the minimum necessary for the reader to keep track of the terminology and be able to easily find the terms that a given word is rendering without having to search throughout the book. Also, I introduced new sections after the revision that gave rise to the version the reader has in her or his hands, which might not be in the most appropriate places of the text, and which might be moved to the most suitable place in the final revision that is still to be undertaken (in particular, in the discussions of the Second, Third and Fourth Noble Truths I introduced references to the way in which saṃsāra arises from the base-of-all that might have to be moved elsewhere) Finally, during the last correction the word processing program failed and when I recovered the file, the italics in endnotes were no longer in italics, having been replaced by normal type. I began putting the damaged words I detected back into italics, but it would have taken too long and I had deadlines to meet, so I left most of the words that should be in italics in non-italic, normal characters

Its importance cannot be underestimated. Indeed, it is destined to become a classic guide to spiritual development.” —Stanley Krippner, Ph.D., Alan Watts Professor of Psychology, Saybrook University “I can’t pretend to understand all of what Profes- sor Elias Capriles has written in these magnificent four volumes, yet I have the utmost appreciation for the rare combination of impeccable scholarship and lived wisdom that Capriles has shared.” —Harris L. Friedman, Ph.D., Professor Emeritus, Saybrook University, Senior Editor, International Journal of Transpersonal Studies “A challenging but exhilarating adventure for any readers interested in existential, humanistic, and/or transpersonal psychologies and their intersection with Dzogchen philosophy and practice.” —Douglas A. MacDonald, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Psychology, University of Detroit Mercy, Editor Emeritus, International Journal of Transpersonal Studies “These volumes exemplify precisely the direction in which I for one would like to see transpersonal psy- chology grow: Capriles articulates profoundly innova- tive ideas about the nature of mind and transforma- tional processes through a solid grasp of the insights from a specific religious tradition.” —Les Lancaster, Professor Emeritus of Transpersonal Psychology, Liverpool John Moores University, UK.

Compellingly, (he) presents a strong case for an alternative view that could have major impact on transpersonal thought (due to the) powerful perspective (it presents).
