Product Description
Product Description
A combined and fully revised edition of Jeff Foster's first two books Life Without a Centre and Beyond Awakening. What if life is infinitely simpler than you ever imagined? We spend our lives seeking wealth, success, love, fulfilment, and even 'spiritual enlightenment' in the future. Yet right at the heart of life there is an intimacy, a simplicity, a wholeness that is totally beyond words - and which cannot be reached through any kind of effort. In our attempts to change, to improve ourselves, or become 'enlightened', we end up ignoring this wordless intimacy which is our birthright and our true home. The Wonder of Being points to the eternal freedom which exists beyond the seeker and the sought, and shows us the hidden assumptions that underlie our seeking activities. With great humour, compassion and clarity, Jeff Foster reminds us of something we have always known - that life, as it is, is a miracle... and beyond our thoughts, we are already free.

Format:Paperback
This is a beautiful combined edition of Jeff Foster's first two books. Very clear pointers to our true nature, spoken with great simplicity. I don't understand how one wouldn't resonate with much of what Foster has to say. I enjoyed it very much and the latter chapters touched me (or should I say no-one!) especially deeply.

This book's like finding a spring of cool, fresh water on a long walk; drink it in.
I sometimes wonder if we haven't really run out of things to write down, but I'm very glad Jeff Foster set these ones to paper.

For anyone who would like to wake up to a joyful way of living then all of Jeff Foster's books are highly recommended especially this one & 'An Extraordinary Absence'.
This book 'The Wonder of Being' is mainly a re-edited version of his first two books (they were so popular they are out of print!) - however it contains some new material making the whole edition a most delightful enlightening inspiring read ! May you enjoy !It Happens by Itself: Dialogues with Isaac Shapiro

Totally misleading
Unfortunately this is just like so many other books on awakening - totally misleading. Promises of intimacy and/or a new joyful way of living are just absurd. Read more

Oh dear . . . . . .
Having just reviewed another book of Fosters, 'An Extraordinary Absence: Liberation in the Midst of a Very Ordinary Life', which is very similar to this one, there is little left... Read more
