WHEE! WE WEE ALL THE WAY HOME is a simple handbook which leads us out of a privately oriented mysticism into a deepening link with humankind. This is a universal handbook reminding us that we are all bearers of ecstasy and therefore of God. It is a valuable book which highlights the obstacles (or dragons) we may meet on our journey and the means of dealing with such obstructions.

CONTENTS:

Part I: The Experience of Ecstasy as the Experience of God: Whee!
1. Natural Ecstasies: how we all get high all the time on nature, friendship, sex, the arts, sports, thinking, travel, and involuntary deprivations
2. Tactical Ecstasies: some strategies old and new for bringing about ecstatic experiences including chants, (rosaries and litanies included), fasting, abstinence, drugs, drink, celibacy, Yoga and Zen exercises, TM, biofeedback
3. How the practice of natural and tactical ecstasies differs and the difference this makes
4. How we can all agree that our experience of ecstasy is our experience of God

Part II: Becoming Like God: We
5. How God is like an elephant -- learning to remember and not forget our ecstasies
6. God as pleasure-seeker: the forgotten pleasure of believing creation and the Creator are pleasures
7. Thinking Symbolically: how spiritual voyagers reject literal thinking for symbolic playing and how our symbolic thinking is our God-consciousness
8. Acting Symbolically: God and ourselves as extremists: how spiritual voyagers stretch their souls to be God-like and in the process appear to be "extremists"
9. God as a panentheistic God and ourselves in that Image
10. God as Artist, not Master: how God shares the creating so that we are not creatures under God but fellow creators with God

Part III: Obstacles (Small and Large Dragons) to Experiencing Ecstasy and the GTod of Ecstasy: Wee
11. Some species of small but insidious unfriendly dragons such as bloated egos, exaggerated he's and she's and moralizing that lurk to devour us along our spiritual journey

13. Large and Unfriendly Dragons: institutions and institutional consciousness
14. Additional insights on tactics that unfriendly dragons utilize, such as how large dragons employ small dragons in their service
15. Some dragon-bite kits and an observation on descerning friendly from unfriendly dragons
