Dr. Douglas Zweig
"Lew Paz draws upon many years of his personal spiritual, philosophical, and metaphysical quest
to understand human nature in general, and himself in particular. Pushing Ultimates incorporates
what Paz has discovered through philosophy, science, psychology, theology, mysticism, the history
of religion, and the writings of such original thinkers and scholars as Jung, Aurobindo, Heidegger,
Einstein, Godel, Gurdjieff and others. Highly recommended reading, the 397-page text of Pushing
Ultimates (enhanced with several pages of chapter notes) is eminently accessible for the non-
specialist general reader seeking an in-depth, sophisticated, erudite, sometimes iconoclastic
approach to the acquisition of genuine self- knowledge. Pushing Ultimates is "must" reading for
dedicated students of philosophy, metaphysics, and those committed to the seeking of self-
enlightenment in a clamoring and all-too-superficial world."
James Cox / Editor in Chief / Midwest Book Review
“I regard this book as a scholarly achievement of formidable scope and considerable merit,
a worthwhile read for any truth seeker… a valuable stepping stone to a deep and
learned awareness… Lew Paz has a rare, bright, daring, and inquisitive mind
that has yielded a harvest of philosophical insights that promise to be of
invaluable nourishment for people who seek to reach
new heights of spiritual awareness.”
Laurent Grenier, author of A REASON FOR LIVING
Ottawa, Canada
"Most people who embark on the path of philosophy quite likely have very little
foreknowledge of what they are really getting into... However, in this remarkable
and innovative work, ontological renegade Lew Paz gives readers the seldom
seen perspective of someone who risked the enormous and daunting task of inner
inquiry. What emerges from this philosophical travelogue is more than
inspiratioinal... Paz, unlike most ad hoc philosopher's-at-large, sustains a
relentless and intense quest to grasp something luminous and beautiful. His work
emanates a vitality that has been extinguished in this age of fearful conservatism,
where even the so-called "enlightened" may seem guarded and paranoid... He shares
with us a unique and much needed event horizon, one that he has scrutinized
unflinchingly and from a perspective of genuine and hard-won compassion.
Jaye Beldo / RainTaxi Review of Books
“Lew Paz’s depth of knowledge and understanding of the human ego, mind and soul,
blaze forth eloquently in an honest analysis of the reality we inhabit together.”

“Pushing Ultimates has the look of a text I’m going to want to read and ponder several times again,
concept-rich and deeply researched as it is… For a conscious pilgrim, this book is indispensable.”

“It is the most thought provoking and stimulating book I have read in the past five years…
No one book has made me so aware of the greatness and mystery of God.”

"The road to authentic self-knowledge is probably the most challenging and worthwhile journey
that a human being will ever explore ... It is so very tempting to take the easy path,
to believe someone else's truth as our own, or to seek comfort in beliefs that we've never
really questioned. Pushing Ultimates takes a candid look at the most common obstacles
to authentic self-knowledge. Probably the biggest challenge in this process is beginning
a line of questioning and really trying to find the answers ... Pushing Ultimates reminds us that
despite out intense need to fit in and to go with the crowd, if we as individuals truly want
authentic self-knowledge, we have to dig a lot deeper than that. We have to be willing
to question anything and everything. We also have to be willing to listen to the answers."
Dr. Tami Brady / TCM Reviews
“Exposing (self-)delusions of New Age ‘enlightenment” as well as
zealous and soulless scientific materialism.
Worth the price, if only for its extensive list of literature!”
