Book Reviews of Life Without a Centre: Awakening from the Dream of Separation
Book Review: Wonder if he's really awake?
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this book based on some of the reviews I read and I was mostly disappointed. It is awkwardly written and while the author has the ability and grasp of non-duality concepts and words, it did not resonate with me. I live with "someone" who is "awake" and this book did not strike me as written by someone who has truly broken with the illusion or dream. I felt like he was writing to convince himself and others. It seems like he is writing about it, not from it. If you are looking to engage more seriously on this topic, I would strongly recommend other authors such as, Leo Hartong (Awaking in the Dream) or Tony Parsons (The Open Secret) or if you like more edge, Jed McKenna (Spiritual Enlightenment, the Damndest Thing).
Summary of Life Without a Centre: Awakening from the Dream of Separation
We try to escape from the play of life and the suffering that being "a person in the world" entails. Our efforts to find spiritual enlightenment have the opposite effect and reinforce an underlying feeling of lack, of separation. In Life Without a Centre, Jeff Foster suggests that there is only ever the present appearance of life, with no individual at its core who could ever escape even if they wanted to. The entire spiritual search is nothing more than a game we play with ourselves, the cosmic entertainment. Jeff cuts through the confusion and frustration surrounding the search for escape through spiritual enlightenment, by pointing to the utterly obvious: This moment, and everything that arises in it, is already the liberation that is sought. Life, just as it is, is already what we've been searching for our entire lives. Jeff Foster graduated in astrophysics from Cambridge University. Soon after graduation, life events propelled him onto an intense two-year spiritual search, culminating in the realisation that there was never anything to find in the first place. He currently writes and talks on what some people have called "non-duality", but which he just refers to as "the utterly, utterly obvious".General Books
