Format:Paperback
What I find so precisously special about Douglas Harding, as compared with other writers in related fields, is that Douglas has designed a list of exercises that give you immediate access to the Absolute. Maybe you will only stay with it briefly, but you can always go back whenever you remember.
Reading Douglas Harding and trying the exercises literally turned my spiritual practise upside down, I cannot recommend this author enough

The Best Wake-up Call I've ever seen
25 July 1999
Format:Paperback
Harding exceeds the remarkable clarity of even his own previous work with this gem of clarity and insight into our fundamental nature. A "must read" for anyone who want to really "get" what Zen, Buddhism, Christianity, etc. have really been about - and to get it in a moment, instead of at the end of a lifetime's effort!

An interesting approach to the duality of experience
8 April 2002
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
At first glance Harding's "headless" approach looks more like a gimmic than a spiritual exercise. Pretending that one has no head seems like something for children to do. Harding's methods help one break through the subject/object duality of experience. All experience begins with the "I" thought. With Harding's headless method the "I" is no longer idenfied with it's customary location in the head but with what one experiences.
I admit I had a hard time with some of his language as there seems to be a slight communication gap (for me anyway) between British and American english. It wasn't until I actually has a headless experience that I saw the profundity of his work. With so many spiritual texts sounding like the other this is truly a unique work and perspective.

who are you really really?
25 May 2002
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
mr harding has for half a century traveled the world sharing his view of our ultimate identity. he has also found time to write some great books. this is one of his best. for that matter it is one of THE best. he simplifies the in-seeing into our truest and deepest identity. with that seeing and realization comes a great clarity of who and what and where we really are. you could sit in zazen for 10 yrs or read this book in 3 hrs. either method has a very good chance of helping you know yourself in a truly new and wonderful and freeing way. most problems will shrink into a manageable size once you realize WHO has the problem. most joys will be increased when you see the wonder of their SOURCE. this book is profoundly spiritual without being dogmatic, sectarian, or emotionally icky. there's no superstition here, just a clear sweet insight into WHO you are and what I AM.
