Anticipating a new book release! #

In his groundbreaking new book, Joshua Pritikin explores the provocative idea that belief systems obstruct authentic religious experience. Building on James Carse’s foundational work, “Unburdened” takes this premise to its logical conclusion, offering a methodical investigation into what religion might look like when freed from the constraints of belief.

Pritikin masterfully integrates diverse traditions—from ancient shamanic practices to contemporary psychological frameworks like Internal Family Systems therapy—to create a practical roadmap for direct religious experience. The book guides readers through meditation techniques, community ceremonies, and altered states of consciousness while maintaining a critical stance toward intermediaries who claim special access to religious truth. “Unburdened” invites readers to step beyond dogma into a more authentic engagement with life’s profound mysteries.
