Product Description
Product Description
A compilation of expressions, questions and answers that came about in response to Leo's highly praised first book 'Awakening to the Dream'. Leo writes with characteristic insight and uses metaphor to illuminate the paradoxical and apparently confusing nature of non-dual reality. His original writing is reinforced by a vast knowledge of non-duality in other spiritual traditions and he weaves these together with his own direct path to present clear pointers to contemporary seekers An appropriately chosen quotation taken from various sources appears at the end of each short chapter. Also included at the end of the book is the full text of the Hsin-hsin Ming by the third Chan patriarch Seng-ts'an "The words in this book repeatedly point to the essence which knows the reading as it takes place. Rather than an encouragement to follow a lengthy path, it is an invitation to step off the path. It does not point to 'your' awareness, but to Awareness itself in which the idea of 'you' appears. It does not point to 'your' beingness, but to the undeniable Beingness that appears as you."

Format:Paperback
Leo Hartong is one of the clearest, intelligent, articulate and considerate communicators of non-duality around today.
Leo's second book, From Self to Self is a worthy follow-up / companion to the now classic Awakening to the Dream - expanding on and probing deeper into many of the topics explored in that book.
Each of the short chapters - taken mainly from e-mails and letters - is presented in a question and answer format that lends an intimacy and relevancy that is often lacking in the traditional method of transcription from satsang recordings.

Excellant book if you want to become totally disillusioned - because the author does not believe in enlightenment. Reminds me of the story of sour-grapes - the fox, failing to reach the grapes, condemned them as sour and left. Some people, failing to reach enlightenment, declare that there is no such thing. Yes, and Buddha just set up a huge following - for what???? Just for people to shave their heads and live a solitary life for nothing?
Surely, is this stuff believable? only in this country, I think...

This book is a very enjoyable read for that which finds non duality and realization of the true undivided self.
Even after the penny has dropped, Leo's pointers are even more delightful because there is no longer anything
struggling to try and get somewhere or work it all out. The words just become an easy description, almost a
biography and an autobiography of that which we really are that actually lives.
I have read many books on this subject previously but there has often been so much sugar in the medicine that one just ends up with
indigestion.
Even so I will stress for the reader to remember that as good as this book is, the metaphors used are still only pointers to the actual.
A steak house menu can never be the food itself.
If there is only a desire in following a path ,joining some church or saving the planet for example, then just enjoy enjoy that lifestyle as it doesn't really matter anyway, but this book would probably
be of not much use in this case, this reading material is for that which has had enough of all that kind of stuff.
