With all this talk about God, higher power, what we can and cannot accept. This is for all of the very smart people in the room. Written by the father of American Psychology. "Varieties of Religious Experience" is mentioned briefly in the AA Big Book. But I've met only about two people who have actually read James's work. I must confess that I tried to read this about 15 years ago and it was like reading the Silmarillion...s l o w. I think I might give it another go. You may find this an interesting read. I think that one of the main points that James is trying to say in his lectures is this: the most important thing that religions have given mankind are enlightened individuals.
