Customer Reviews

Crash! Crunch! @#$%, flump, plop!, thunk! BOOM! bang! flop!

That's the sound of how the "this is unimaginable..." squiggles impacted the tidy, oblivious, sense of "me." This isn't some rehash of what has come down from some lineage. This stuff is FRESH and obviously is expressed from direct experience. Don't get me wrong, I love the classics and nisargadatta and all, but this young kid has taken it to a whole new 21st century level. His writing is more "vertical" like poetry (not flowery, though) than traditional, flat prose, and reading it is like falling down a waterfall. Read it. You won't be bored, and if you are like me (I've read EVERYthing on advaita) he will reach places in you that have never been touched.

superb book

This book written by a 24 year old who understands that awareness is all that is, cuts through the morass of spiritual disciplines in a radically deconstructionist way reducing what is to "this". In my view, this book can be quite helpful in demonstrating conclusively that an awareness of being, or presence, is all that is--indivisible, immutable, and beyond time and space. The awareness of being is bliss.

Timelessly alive

Out of all of the non-dualistic literature there is nothing as much as this book that challenges and delights me so much. This book challenges every assumption and concept that I have ever had and delights me in the sheer, radiant and carefree expression. This book does not play into the hands of convention or popular concepts about enlightenment as the whole experience of awakening and non-duality is expressed so finely. The writing is as light as a feather and falls into no traps of didactism - all is breathtakingly open - often leaving the reader in a flat spin with nowhere to go, nowhere to hide but with a beautiful wry smile stretching from ear to ear. A book to dip into and to dip into and to dip into - long after many `other' books will doubtless have shrunk in attraction. The narrator or `voice' is nowhere to pin down and is expansive and unpredictable as the weather. Beautifully fresh, exhilarating and timelessly alive.

This review is just here

Written in an outburst of almost impudent ecstasy in the period six months after awakening (it says here on the back cover), Guy Smith communicates the message of pure non-duality with joyous passion, intelligence and humour. Rather than merely being just another book about non-duality, this work actually manages to evoke the `taste' of non-duality through it's varied use of literary devices, prose, poetry and `notices' (shots or shocks of expression designed to provoke immediate, present examination). A unique and refreshing articulation of the sense of being itself - which manages to push way beyond the text. Top marks to Non-Duality Press for having the bottle to publish this work in its raw and exuberant state.

Do Not Miss This

Get it... read it... it's hilariously obvious!!!!! This book is utterly brilliant. No exaggerated expressions of admiration do it justice. This may sound hyperbolic to you but even from a level head I feel I am understating.
