Perhaps if something is said over and over a hundred different ways, it will finally sink in. And perhaps not. But if it is seen just once.... This book is an offering by the Absolute; an expression of a realization ultimately had by no one. Part I is comprised of 15 essays. The dialogues in Part II are based on conversations with five other incarcerated men over a period of four years. The author is indebted to these men, and to the English philosopher and spiritual teacher Douglas E. Harding for the awareness exercises and many of the terms presented in this book, and for his unique and incomparable expression of non-dual wisdom. J. C. Amberchele was born in Phildelphia in 1940. He attended a Quaker school, then colleges in Pennsylvania and New York, graduating with a Bachelor"s degree in psychology. His first book, a novel, was released in 2002 (How You lose, New York, Carroll & Graf), and more recently he is the author of The Light That I Am (Non-duality Press, 2008). He has been a long-time meditator in prison, and has called himself a "reluctant Buddhist" since taking formal vows in 2001. As of this writing he has been incarcerated a total of 30 years, and does not expect to be released soon. Это и многое другое вы найдете в книге The Almighty Mackerel and His Holy Bootstraps (J. C.
