We all go out into the world looking for happiness. For some reason, we believe that we will find what we need when... When we get enough money. When we find the right lover. When we get that perfect job.
After some measure of success and failure, it becomes very obvious that something is very wrong. We just aren't getting what we want, even when we are getting what we thought we wanted. The problem is that we are looking for happiness in the wrong place. What we really seek is within.
Naked Being tells us that the key is letting go of all of our baggage, our social masks, and our complexities. To really allow ourselves to be naked, to be completely who we are. Nothing to hide, no excuses, and no special meditations to complete. Just be aware and be willing to let go.
I like that. Sometimes the answer is simple. We are the ones that create complexities, perhaps so that we have reasons to fail.

It's a rare skill to be able to use words, ideas and concepts to describe so clearly the silent and unbounded universe of consciousness. In the `inner space' of being words have no place and meaning becomes increasingly irrelevant. Yet Jonathan is able to erect all the right signposts and this book is a testimony to a clarity of insight, purity of vision and subtlety of awareness that takes many years to cultivate. But you'll need to move slowly and stop frequently to gain full value from his illuminating descriptions, reflections and interpretations in order to see if you can `see' for your self. If you do then it's a book that will rightly remain by your side for a very long time.

"I shall give you what no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, what no hand has touched, what has not arisen in the human heart".
These words of Jesus from the Gospel of Thomas would not stop repeating themselves in my mind as I read Naked Being. They point to the nameless, pure, unborn presence that we all are, before we become.
It can never be seen, heard or touched because it is what we truly are. It is who we are before anything was. The saying suggests that our deepest identity is like a source of light that can never shine on itself, but illumines everything on which it rests its gaze. Yet too easily it can become confused, believing itself to be that which it only really sees.
It is when this timeless essence remembers itself that what Jonathan Harrison calls "naked being" arises. It is what is revealed, as Jesus explains elsewhere in Thomas, "when you take your clothes and put them under your feet like little children, then you will see the child of the living one and you will not be afraid".
There are many great teachings from the past, like the Gospel of Thomas, that seek to evoke this awakening. But they come from a different time and culture and can struggle to fully connect with modern twenty-first century minds. So we need such teachings for our own time and Naked Being is such a contribution.
Like all authentic teachings of awakening it does not offer yet another doctrine or philosophy, yet more information to fill our already overloaded minds. Instead, it seeks to evoke in the reader a taste of that to which it points. It uses short, penetrating passages that work away in the mind, gently dismantling the false, intensely personal thought world in which most of us live, most of the time. The passages are not statements on which one takes a position, agreeing or disagreeing, but are given for deep reflection - a journey that can take us to an experience far beyond their literal meaning.
All minds are wonderfully different, so a great variety of teachings are necessary. For many, Naked Being will be a powerful and true mirror.
