Description
Certain books should be required reading for serious spiritual seekers, I think, and The Conquest of Illusion is one of them. Knowledge of its existence came down to me through my primary spiritual mentor, Richard Rose, who used to crisscross the country in the 1930s in search of teachers and information about spiritual enlightenment. The story goes that one day he was talking to a cab driver who had similar spiritual interests and asked him if he'd found any teachers or books of value. The cabbie said, "Yeah. One teacher, Alfred Pulyan, and one book, The Conquest of Illusion." By the time I came to know Rose I was in my forties and had twenty years of spiritual seeking under my belt, but I'd not heard of The Conquest of Illusion. It was out of print but I found a used copy and eagerly dug in. My reading was slow going at first. Van der Leeuw was writing in the 1920's and I had to get used to his formal, erudite style and long periodic sentences. The impact of the book, however, was immediate and powerful. It was as if the most logical, intelligent, clear-headed, well-educated philosopher imaginable got enlightened and wrote a book. Actually, more than as if-apparently that is what happened. At any rate, the result is a jewel that belongs on every earnest spiritual seeker's bookshelf.Van der Leeuw writes with the unmistakable perspective of an enlightened master, always grounded in a personal experience of Truth. No matter how deeply into the details of philosophy he leads us, he always circles back to That Which Is. He expounds on each problem of philosophy so evenly and so well you think he's putting forth his own belief. Then he comes back to Truth and pulls the rug out from under everything he just carefully explained. Beautiful, really.I have lightly edited this version to read slightly more smoothly to modern ears, but nothing has been deleted and Van der Leeuw's engaging style remains completely intact. Everything else about this 90th Anniversary Edition, including the front matter and illustrations, are as they were in the 1928 first edition. Bart Marshall
