Modern man has found that material achievements are failing him, but in his escape from despair, he has become an easy prey for the deceptive cult of Zen-Existentialism. There has emerged a mode of radical New Humanism with its emphasis on human autonomy. In place of the God-man appears the man-god. There is a search for the world within, the limitless inner space, the expansion of consciousness, and the transcendental experience of Satori. First published in 1969, this book prophetically anticipated the growth of New Age developments in the decades to follow. Lit-sen Chang directly spoke to the Hippie movement of his day, which was then seeking various means of transcendence through drugs and eastern mysticism. This book also reflects fifty years of bitter experiences of the author's spiritual pilgrimage and shows how he was miraculously delivered by the grace and power of God from his cul-de-sac. Chang writes of the utter futility of the fantasy of the East, analyzes the root causes of the crises in the West, and points out the doom of auto-soterism after his careful diagnosis of the human problem in cultural, philosophical, religious, and theological terms.
