I love Alan and many more have influenced me as well.
More Vedantist & to a lesser degree Buddhist in my own past practice (years ago) and aspire to re awaken that pursuit in future.
For a modern trans personal approach that emphasizes meditation and the Buddhist approach of de programming from tendencies, (without the religious dogma language or sutras)
I Recommend Tarthang Tulku’s
Time Space Knowledge Practice from his Nyingma Psychology Publications.
It’s rigorous & and it’s a path on its own, but for some may find intriguing and a help in their practice or inquiry.

Systems of belief are the tracks that knowledge leaves behind. Questioning and open inquiry offer far more - Tarthang Tulku
Starting with the simple fact of our presence in the world, Sacred Dimensions of Time and Space crafts a “geometry of meaningful existence”. The result is utterly unexpected and deeply liberating- a new architecture of experience. The reader can join in an inquiry that leads to personal transformation. Twenty pages of diagrams present visual metaphors for new ways of thinking about space, time, knowledge, and the arising of experience.
This is the fourth volume in the Time, Space, and Knowledge series but can be read independently.
About the Author
Tarthang Tulku Rinpoche is a traditionally trained teacher and author in the Nyingma lineage of Tibetan Buddhism. Born in 1935 in eastern Tibet, Rinpoche studied with many of the greatest Tibetan Buddhist masters of the twentieth century. After leaving Tibet, Tarthang Tulku taught from 1962 to 1968 at Sanskrit University in Varanasi, India, where he also established one of the first printing presses to print sacred Tibetan texts. The first lama of the Nyingma lineage to establish residence in the United States, Rinpoche established a mandala of organizations to actualize his long-range vision of preserving the ancient teachings of the Buddha and transmitting them to the modern world. He is the author of over two dozen books, including Gesture of Balance; Time, Space, and Knowledge-a New Vision of Reality; Kum Nye Tibetan Yoga; Skillful Means, Revelations of Mind, and Caring.
