Description

All that is known is experiencing, and experiencing is not divided into one part (an inside self) that experiences and another part (an outside object, other, or world) that is experienced. Experiencing is seamless and intimate, made of "knowing" or awareness alone. This intimacy, in which there is no room for selves, objects, or others, is love itself. It lies at the heart of all experience, completely available under all circumstances.

This book is a compilation of transcripts of talks given by Rupert Spira. Unfortunately, it lacked an editor. An editor could have eliminated some of the repetitions. Could have broken the sentences into understandable wholes. And, an editor could have perhaps taken the edge do prescriptiveness off

 of Spirs's pronouncements. Well, that is probably going too far.

There are many other readable books out there. This is not a good one for neophytes.
