In Watcher On The Hills, physicist Raynor C. Johnson examines 36 cases of mystical and spiritually transformative encounters experienced by ordinary people. The higher self, the soul and personality, higher mystical experience and cosmic consciousness are all examined. The author tells us: "I have written this book because the testimony of those who have had moments or mystical experience seem to me a clear pointer to the truth of the world.

Immersed in the routine and monotony of everyday life, uninspiring and uninspired, they feel remote from such experience." This book is for those people. "In most religions the ultimate verities are believed-and may therefore be doubted; in mysticism they are experienced, and doubt is no longer possible." Swami Vivekananda
