Books by Richard Rose

Invaluable road maps and shortcuts for the spiritual search.

 

Richard Rose wrote seven books over a span of thirty years. Each deals directly with a specific aspect of the spiritual search. He approaches the study of self, and the study of the human mind, in as scientific a manner as is possible in what must always be a subjective realm. He does not labor to create a paradigm of words and concepts. Rather, he intently and expertly disarms many of the preconceptions a spiritual seeker brings to the table. Although his books are not easy reading, he speaks to the heart and head simultaneously but leaves much unsaid, allowing, or rather forcing, readers to stretch the limits of their mentality. Those who venture into the mind and thought of Richard Rose via his books—or his Albigen System—will come away from the effort changed in an undeniable way.
