'Reason and imagination and all mental chatter died down... I forgot my name, my humanness, my thingness, all that could be called me or mine. Past and future dropped away... Lighter than air, clearer than glass, altogether released from myself, I was nowhere around.' Thus Douglas Harding describes his first experience of headlessness, or no self. First published in 1961, this is a classic work which conveys the experience that mystics of all times have tried to put words to.

The combination of the prophetic seer of humankind’s actual situation without the eons of social conditioning to see own self through the looking glass of other rathe than the Self combined by the reading by his chief disciple Richard Lang is a potent combination. I look forward to revisiting this spiritual classic time and time again.

I thought that this was brilliant and truly original. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it, and plan to re read it again today or tomorrow. I read the first two chapters a while ago, but wasn’t ready for it at that time.

This! This! A simple way to see...really see what we are, accompanied with a delightfully written, detailed map to deepen and clarify that seeing. I return again and again to this book. Each time brings more clarity, more joy, and more peace. The mind wants to complicate and continue the search, but It's all right here.
