Publisher's summary

The legendary British actor Terence Stamp reads the book that he says 'changed his life'. This is an exploration of our existence and a journey towards enlightenment.

In what the author calls 'the fine print' at the start of the book, David Carse wrote: 'There are many books out there that will help you to live a better life, become a better person, and evolve and grow to realise your potential as a spiritual being. This is not one of them...almost every popular spiritual teacher in America and Europe is teaching that ultimate spiritual enlightenment...can now be yours; and that reading their book or attending their seminar will help you toward that end. This book will tell you that these ideas are absurd, because it’s quite obvious that neither you nor anything else has ever existed....' He then concludes, 'That said, enjoy'. We think you probably will.

Perfect

Perfect for the Western seeker, imo. The material is not new but the delivery is. Mr Carse has a way of explaining the unexplainable, more clearly than any I've read, if that makes sense. I've always cherished Nisargadatta, Maharshi, et al. So does Mr Carse, apparently.

I recommend

I really enjoyed this book I’ve listened to it a couple times in a row. Very thought provoking. I did have a hard time understanding or hearing Terence at times. Though his voice is soothing which I also enjoyed.

A new take on why

I keep relistening and gleaning more and more from this life changing book. So many concepts are now clearer to me.

Not a story, an accounting.

A most precious book.
Thank you, Terence Stamp, for reading it for us.
I haven’t seen many of your acting performances, but this I imagine, outshines them all.
Much gratitude.

I could listen to this book over and over again!

I never tire of listening to particular chapters of this book over and over, and it's even hard picking out which chapters I like best because there are so many I like best.
Truth is...I was ripe any ready for the pointers and message shared within these pages.

One of the best

This is a really great book. A masterpiece, actually, in my opinion. I have listened to it at least 4 times now and get something new out of it every time. There are so many great analogies and stories that point to the Truth. The book is also packed with advice for the spiritual seeker and the pitfalls that one can fall into. Terence Stamp also does a wonderful job narrating the material. If you want to seriously raise your consciousness or actually wake up, then this is the book for you.

Mind bending

It would truly one of the most impactful spiritual books ever written, if it was ever written.
