Critics Review
“Evola writes in lively prose, filled with fascinating and concrete detail…To read his descriptions of the higher spiritual states is like watching a champion mountain-climber on a vertical glacier.” * Joscelyn Godwin in Gnosis *”[Evola’s] engaging and poetic look at mountain climbing through the eyes of awareness creates an artistic dance of words and images. Feeling the landscape of both mind and matter, [he] brings deeper meaning to the struggles of everyday life.” * Meditation Pathways *
