Guest guest Posted April 29, 2001 Report Share Posted April 29, 2001 Hi Glo, It's a great resource, especially for those just discovering the 'nondual perspective'. I remember reading it sometime late last year... 'technically' it's brilliant, but came across as so dry and 'lifeless' that I almost had to take a shower afterward to wash off the dust. Like an archaeological dig it presents the dry shells of the "Living Understanding" very effectively.
