On Having No Head

De: Douglas Edison Harding

Narrado por: Richard Lang

'Reason and imagination and all mental chatter died down... I forgot my name, my humanness, my thingness, all that could be called me or mine. Past and future dropped away... Lighter than air, clearer than glass, altogether released from myself, I was nowhere around.' Thus Douglas Harding describes his first experience of headlessness, or no self. First published in 1961, this is a classic work which conveys the experience that mystics of all times have tried to put words to.

Opened me up to being open

I absolutely love this book! The performance by Richard Lang, and content by the late & great Douglas Harding will forever be with me. This book lays out a truly direct path to freedom that is so simple anyone can understand. 12/10

Potentially Life Changing

The combination of the prophetic seer of humankind’s actual situation without the eons of social conditioning to see own self through the looking glass of other rathe than the Self combined by the reading by his chief disciple Richard Lang is a potent combination. I look forward to revisiting this spiritual classic time and time again.

Exceptional

I thought that this was brilliant and truly original. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it, and plan to re read it again today or tomorrow. I read the first two chapters a while ago, but wasn’t ready for it at that time.

Everything Is Right Here

This! This! A simple way to see...really see what we are, accompanied with a delightfully written, detailed map to deepen and clarify that seeing. I return again and again to this book. Each time brings more clarity, more joy, and more peace. The mind wants to complicate and continue the search, but It's all right here.

Life Changing!

The perspective offered within the work are like none I have ever experienced. They taught me more about myself than any text I have come to know before. Langs narrative performance is undeniably perfection. Coupled with Lang's brilliant delivery, Harding brings to light spiritual extensions of knowledge and perspective based theory that will change the way you view yourself forever-and I can't be more excited for you! I can't wait for you to experience that wonder that is "The Headless Way."

Head Blown. Wow.

Intellectual yet humble account of headless ness and Ones journey towards liberation. Complex and simple.

I won't pretend I understood it

I need a few more reads. unlike other books where I get confused in a section or pages or a few of them, this book is the opposite. I only understood a few sections. The rest is beautifully mysterious in a way I never experienced. It's mysterious because it's saying simple things that are counterintuitive. No long logical arguments. just statements that make the reader smile and wonder.

Eloquent tool

Douglas , thank you for helping me host this very uncomfortable and confusing physical experience , I hope to surrender soon

No head

The book was excellent, full of insightful theories and ideas that resonated deeply. However, the author undermined it by including a chapter on God that felt disconnected from the rest of the content. It didn’t align with the otherwise logical flow of the book, and I’m puzzled as to why it was included. I truly loved the book up until that point.
