Forms of World Religions and Spiritualities Great Minds and Movements from The Eastern Intellectual Tradition. Professor Hardy (2011) delivers to learners such high powered insight as is scarcely seen in any field and at any level. A Great Courses professor as well as Professor of History and Religious Studies at the University of North Carolina at Ashford. He received his doctorate from Yale and has too many acknowledgements to mention with any cogency (Hardy, 2011). A key though is that in his lectures there is cast this miraculous intonation that is just irresistible to this author’s ear and soul. Please consider his works and so many other treasures at thegreatcourses/. Hardy (2011) offers up the Asian perspective emanating from his body of work with a brief qualification regarding the absence of a great number of works that would likewise call anything an “Asian Intellectual Tradition.” Thus, Dr Hardy traverses a new territory even though he is using well known and accepted practices and only cites well kept non-secrets, but only in a new way that perhaps borrows from the West. The West has been quick and long to describe it self similarly, as most know. This also wins the author’s favor as it resonates with similar acumen as do works of so many teacher-authors that he also reveres on high. It is a thin high wire to balance upon if to describe novel and new cognitive and conscious territory with credibility but also essential to survival of the species, in this author’s opinion. This is adaptive and intuitive and also balanced by logic which forms a pinnacle of excellence afforded freely to the hearing listener (Heal, 2012; McCraty, 2012; Engbeck, 2012). Thus, a rich fabric of learning potential is available. and most potentially useful and practical to reader learners.
