by Joseph Andrew Marcello (Author)
In the 6 handwritten pages written in response to a spiritually urgent letter sent him by the author nearly half a century ago, 20th century British sage Douglas Harding brilliantly distills the sum and substance of his absurdly counterintuitive, yet stunningly simple, way of waking up from the dream of life and self. With a spontaneity and conciseness far greater than in any of his many books and writings, he frames the core issue at the heart of the human condition--the mistaken identity from which we - as well as mankind in general - have suffered since we first chose to become human beings. His way is virtually instantaneous, blazingly clear and unavoidably apparent, rescuing us from the miasma of metaphysical speculation and intellectual wheel-spinning. It brings us, without so much as a moment's delay or hesitation, into direct perception of our native self, bypassing centuries of borrowed ideologies and sterile concepts. It is, indeed, just as Douglas first wrote and emphatically meant, "The Totally Obvious & Simple Clarity Right Where You Are."
