From the Inside Flap
The path to enlightenment is not always a straight one. If traditional religion is no longer satisfying your spiritual needs, why not take another path? Paul Rademacher did and discovered a simple truth many people never do - you don't have to be religious to be spiritual. Rademacher  spent his childhood earning medals in Sunday School and trying to be a good, God-fearing child. In his young adulthood he hitchhiked across the United States looking for enlightenment, but only found pieces of it along the way. When he returned home, he started a business pouring concrete with his brother before finding his way back to church and divinity school. Eventually he realized his spirituality could find deeper roots outside the church of traditional religion and he became executive director of The Monroe Institute (an education and research organization dedicated to the exploration of human consciousness) in Virginia. He chronicles his journeys in A Spiritual Hitchhiker's Guide to the Universe, reflecting on his life in the process. His journey to enlightenment and deeper spiritual understanding is an inspiring one for those whose religion is no longer answering their spiritual questions. "A delightful and lucid account of opening to the mystical in everyday life... a very valuable contribution to the growing awareness that spirituality is not just for the religious." - Peter Russel,  author of The Global Brain and From Science to God

In most books on transpersonal states of consciousness and spirituality, the tone is understandably serious, sometimes a little mystical in tone, even scholarly. As a reader, I pay respectful attention to the depth and quality of the narrative, and when I'm finished, I'm left with varying degrees of satisfaction that the book was written in the first place. On rare occasions, a book emerges that combines all the best elements of this genre, and then some. Such a book is Paul Rademacher's A Spiritual Hitchhiker's Guide to the Universe, published by Hampton Press.The author tackles a difficult subject - his slow process of disillusionment within the confines of traditional religion and his quest for spiritual growth and enrichment that could not be realized within the church. He courageously evaluates his life as a Presbyterian minister along with the events that impel him to move away from the ministry after fifteen years of service. Significantly, he uses humor that plays with the absurdities inherent in the mundane and what philosophers have labeled the realm of "deadly everydayness." Many passages are suffused with this delightful humor. Through his use of the ordinary as a baseline, his mystical experiences take on even greater luminescence and credibility. In addition, interspersed throughout his narrative, he re-examines some major Biblical events so that the psychological significance of the stories opens up in a revelatory way for the reader, taking on a new freshness and relevance.Ultimately, Paul's quest leads him to The Monroe Institute, in Faber, Virginia, which he likens to a modern-day mystery school. There, amidst the beauty of nature at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains, he discovers that nonphysical reality is accessible outside the context of painful physical mishaps or near-death experiences. As he is safely guided through sessions that delve into the various focus states of non-physical consciousness, he experiences a new kingdom of rich imagery and light. In these focus states, images become one's reality, and the ordinary day-to-day consciousness (C1) is radically expanded in the process. The inevitable conclusion is that one is definitely, "more than one's physical body," the only credo promulgated by The Monroe Institute.In many ways, Paul's journey mirrors the traditional stages of the hero's journey represented in Joseph Campbell's classic, The Hero with a Thousand Faces. Beginning with his disillusionment as a minister within the Presbyterian church, a "call to adventure" is awakened within him. Consequently, he begins a search for a more meaningful set of values by which to live. During his ministry, although he battles growing doubt and dissatisfaction, he transcends the strenuous demands of his profession and makes himself incredibly accessible to those in need. He is eventually led to discover his life's true mission after experiencing the light of his own soul's reflection in non-physical states. And in his return to society, he has become an enlightened leader who can speak with authority, at last using his own authentic voice to convey important messages and tips for other travelers and seekers. Having turned his beliefs into "knowns," as Robert Monroe would have put it, he is well positioned to change the society in which he lives.I highly recommend A Spiritual Hitchhiker's Guide to the Universe to anyone who has experienced frustration within the confines of traditional religion and who wishes to learn more about the "sacred calling" of one man who, in some respects, represents everyone's journey. Furthermore, the narrative illustrates how The Monroe Institute is capable of facilitating a rapid growth in consciousness through the use of the Hemi-Sync technology, a scientifically-based method of achieving altered states of consciousness. As a graduate of the Gateway Voyage and Lifeline residential programs, I can attest to the safe, accepting, serene, and completely non-judgmental environment that a week-long residential program at TMI provides. And lastly, I would like to thank Paul Rademacher for serving as a wonderful facilitator during my Gateway Voyage in 2005 before he became the Executive Director of TMI.
I'm 71 years old and have been "searching" since I was about 30. OK, so I'm a bit slow.... but getting there is supposed to be half the fun, right?I have had very few "experiences" similar to Paul's, but they all stick in my mind like flypaper. I attended the Monroe Institute for my 60th birthday (gift from my sweet wife) and was very impressed by the results that OTHER people were getting, but I wasn't having the experiences I EXPECTED, so after a feeble effort to continue practicing what I had learned, I let it go completely a few months after I got home.However, after I ordered and received Wave I-VI of the Monroe Gateway Voyage and started "hemi-syncing" again, I began noticing some synchornicities in my life (like Paul's book). I also noticed some synchronicities that I hadn't noticed in the past, like a small, background voice occasionally saying to me, " ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE" LITERALLY A-N-Y-T-H-I-N-G.As a retired Physicist I know some of the implications of quantum mechanics and such. Everything seems to be tied together and pointing to a reality that Paul experienced and Jesus described. Only now it seems to be quite literal and more real than anyone imagined. THANK YOU PAUL!
Rarely have I enjoyed a book as much as I enjoyed this one. It was like a sumptious feast that I needed to read and digest in small amounts on a daily basis. I usually read very fast and devour whole books in one or two sittings. This book stopped me in my tracks so many times that I read it very slowly and lovingly. Not only is Rademacher an entertaining writer, he presented so many new ideas to me about the biblical stories that were wonderful. I laughed out loud; I cried. But, most of all, I thought and thought. For a week, I read for 45 minutes to an hour before going to sleep each night. Consequently, my dreams were vivid and alive in a way that I have not experienced in a long time. I never wanted it to end, so I would reread some stories over and over. Do yourself a favor and buy a copy of the wonderful book. You will not regret it.
I respect this man because he talks like you were good friends. Life as a pastor is difficult and was not for him. It would not be for me either. I like how he explains several verses in the Bible...it opened them up more for me. I was a christian for 30 years and since I left that constrictive box I see so much more and understand more about myself and how the universe really feels about all of us. I will re-read this book as time passes and be encouraged all over again
I have been searching, reading, meditating, taking classes, having revelations, visitations and fears for years. Where to go from here, what is my purpose? I am a beliver. Thank you for your honesty in relating your journey. I look forward to meeting you on Amelia Island. For seekers, this is a must read.
I enjoyed this book so much because it offers a very unusual biography.Such an honest depiction of spiritual longings, and the author's journey through such varied sanctuaries, makes this book a interesting read for a seeker. Personal experiences are fascinating in that way, especially when the writing is so compelling, which is the case here.I also enjoyed the bible references very much, as I was not familiar with them and I like to get to know personal perspectives while educating myself a bit.I highly recommend this book.
I very much enjoyed this nice segue from a Christian perspective to a larger overview...I had previously read books by Robert Monroe, the founder of the Monroe Institue where Rademacher now works, and could easily relate to Rademacher's quest for answers.Rademacher also explained a lot about christian theology and the misconceptions in it in his tale.I would guess it was difficult to write a book such as this that so honestly examines the writers own life, but it seems it has paid off for him, both in life and in literature.
