The intent of this book is to look afresh at ones daily experience, to point to something that the mind may have overlooked. It is not pointing to anything new, anything that you can achieve, or anything you can add to yourself. It is not pointing to the good deeds you have done in your life to emphasize what a wonderful person you must be. It is pointing to something so simple, something so obvious, that when it is pointed out and seen, you wonder how it was ever missed. How is it the mind could have taken something so obvious for granted? How did the mind so easily toss out the valuable jewel in favor of its reflections? You may have been searching for self-realization, enlightenment, the Buddha Mind, God, or some other goal implying the same thing. You may have been searching for many years; or you may just be getting started on a search. Whether you have been travelling a path for a while, or just taking the first step, makes no difference. This book invites you to take a look at the space that has been overlooked, to see what is obvious, and to bring that search to an end. right now.

I have over the course of a few years read quite a few spiritual books, many of them amazing (ET ANE Power of Now, Anthony De Mello, Advaita etc.), but this is wonderfully simple yet effective in shattering illusions of what you regard as yourself, and more effective it seems. I haven't quite finished the book, but I noticed that there wasn't a review of this as of yet and so wanted to lend some praise to this material so perhaps someone else may find it helpful. Only one thing to say really 'Get It!!' haha.. Hope you find this of use ;)

I was left in a Deep Peace
19 Feb 2006
By Advaita One
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This book is a beautiful inquiry into 'Who am I?' with direct pointers at Transcendental Truth.
Questions are asked from many angles and we look at a simple pointing to the experience of reality, without the filter of the mind, to that which is common to all of us, that which the mind has overlooked. You drop the suffering of the separate ego by seeing your true nature as one with all beingness. You investigate the claims, beliefs and assumptions that the mind has told you. Upon examination of your beliefs, you see them effortlessly fall away, as those concepts are seen to be false.
I was left in a deep peace, "Once the conceptual 'I' is dropped by the mind as a valid center, then the door swings open to what is being pointed to, the emptiness that is full." You see "It is all just appearance within the source and the source is what you are."
This book provides a simple, in-depth analysis of self inquiry, with profound insights, stated with a wry wit and an unwavering pointing at Presence/Awareness as the Oneness that we are.

the dissolution of the seeker can happen ...
22 Dec 2005
By Charlie Hayes
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
There are simply very few teachings that assert the non-existence of a separate 'person'. Very few remain in my space after 32 years of searching for that which would fill the bottomless pit in the heart, sitting with endless books/teachers/gurus/websites, and traveling around the globe seeking never finding...
NOW: Reading this book, I am no longer sitting at the feet of any guru
NOW: reading this book seems to reveal with no effort that what I Am is the guru ...
what book? :-)
This is NOT a book for the mind, not a book for the heart .. it can be, when taken in and "grokked in fullnes," a compassion beyond the knowing of it ... a destroyer of all that appears to suffer, leaving only it that IS ... not-suffering-not-wanting not a single thing what is known is not it what is not known is not it
what book!?
"Oneness"
"the destination
you never left"...
"You may have been searching for self-realization, enlightenment, the Buddha Mind, God, or some other goal implying the same thing. You may have been searching for many years; or you may just be getting started on a search. Whether you have been traveling a path for a while, or just taking the first step, makes no difference. This book invites you to take a look at the space that has been overlooked, to see what is obvious, and to bring that search to an end... right now."
The seeing here now is ... "John Greven" stands outside all that is, and thereby offers a unique approach, which fits NO such "category" as "neo" or "traditional" Advaita. Clearly written by NO ONE... Oneness, just That.
And That is That. Over and out... with thanks to my dear friend John Greven

oneness
6 Sep 2006
By Bachan Singh
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
John Greven has done a good job in making the message simple. You are what you seek. There is nothing to attain. This book gives the basic understanding of oneness (non duality). It explains clearly the oneness and it has succeeded in unraveling the lies that we are never the body,nor the thoughts nor are we in the body.What you are has apparently becomes what you think you are. I love this book and I have made this book my travelling companion. I shall never leave home without it.
