Beyond Awakening: The End of the Spiritual Search

Beyond Awakening: The End of the Spiritual Search by Foster, Jeff. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780955399978.

"The entire spiritual search rests on the assumption that there is a separate individual who seeks...." This is a book about the utterly obvious. Its about the spiritual search, and the frustrations surrounding it. Its about those ultimate goals we set ourselves: enlightenment, awakening, liberation, and how those goals can never actually be reached, because - and heres the great discovery - the person who seeks them has no more reality than a presently-arising belief. That is to say, "you" are just a thought, happening now. A sequel to the bestselling " Life Without A Centre: Awakening from the Dream of Separation", this book is packed with clear and vibrant expressions of nonduality. Time and time again, the text gently points back to the futility of both the spiritual search, and the "search to end the search" (another game the mind loves to play). With great humour, compassion and clarity, the book will draw you into a direct confrontation with your own absence, an absence which, paradoxically, is also a perfect presence. This may be the last book a spiritual seeker will ever need."
