Product Description
Book Description
In THE TEXTURE OF BEING, the author explores, in a non-intellectual way, the true nature of reality - suggesting that a closer contact with that reality can be found through 'feeling' rather than thinking. The mind and emotions usually get in the way of clear seeing, creating difficulties in our lives. When we stand back and view ourselves and the world we inhabit from an impersonal perspective, all is revealed.
With over 30 years experience with the non-dualistic (Advaita) tradition, the author offers a practical approach to living this teaching. Those who are familiar with the works of Ramana Maharshi, Nisargadatta Maharaj, Jean Klein or Poonjaji may find this book of great interest. Those who are new to this approach may be inspired to delve deeper.
"Roy Whenary has made a long and exhaustive exploration into the nature of truth and one's own identity as a human being. This book reveals the essence of his search and realization, offers us the fruits of his enquiry and points us towards an understanding which will lead us to the non-dual state. Roy is a poet and his precise use of language is a model of clarity. I heartily commend this book to all those interested in discovering their true nature - who they really are".
Alan Jacobs (Chairman of the Ramana Maharshi Foundation UK)
From the Author
Many readers will already be familiar with teachers from the Advaita tradition, such as Nisargadatta Maharaj, Ramana Maharshi, Jean Klein or Poonjaji. THE TEXTURE OF BEING is dedicated to the life and teachings of Jean Klein, whom I had the good fortune to meet over many years. There is already a vast amount of reading material from the Advaita approach, but I would say that there is always room for new expression, even if the ultimate message always points back to our true nature. Each writer or teacher comes with a different life-experience in the world of duality. This difference in life-experience shapes the quality and relevance of the expression. Having lived and worked in the western world for the past 35 years, THE TEXTURE OF BEING, I feel, has a great deal of relevance for people who have also shared this life-experience. My inspiration has always been Advaita, but I would not claim that it is pure Advaita in the Indian tradition. Language is itself born out of duality, and so whatever language we use always struggles with trying to overcome its own limitations. Ultimately, if THE TEXTURE OF BEING is able to help direct the reader back into his or her own source, or true nature, then the language used will have been proven to be irrelevant.
