History becomes useful when we can hear the questions inside it.
Jay Stinnett’s work follows the spiritual roots and historical development of Alcoholics Anonymous: the Oxford Group, Samuel Shoemaker, Dr. Bob, Bill Wilson, Carl Jung, mystical experience, meditation, and later investigations of consciousness.
This collection brings Jay’s talks, conversations, films, books, and research themes together without flattening uncertainty. Archival evidence, personal experience, and interpretation are identified for what they are.
Hear the work in English and 日本語.
