The Celibate Seeker: an Exploration of Celibacy As a Modern Spiritual Practice Shawn Nevins

Outside of religious orders, who are the people that choose to practice celibacy and why? The Celibate Seeker is an examination of celibacy as a practical discipline for those on a spiritual search. It surveys the experiences of seventeen men and one woman to discover the benefits they derive and their advice to others. Discover how celibacy affects intuition and energy, how it reveals the habits of our mind, and is a natural state for anyone involved in intense effort. Hear from those currently practicing, former practitioners, and those who have struggled mightily with what Gandhi called "the highest goal."
