| A.H. Almaas The Point of Existence by A.H. Almaas arrived yesterday. I think it is about getting past the surface manifestations of who we are to get at who we really are. Yes, it could be like biting into a wad of wet newspaper. The first chapter certainly has that chalky newsprint taste, except it holds out the promise of a series of exercises contained in the book that supposedly will help me pull off this feat of self-realization, which has yet to be defined. The book claims to be a fusion of spiritual explorations of the self with scientific psychological and philosophical explorations of the self. It seems that we view reality through "egoic veils". As we cling to the surface definitions of who we are, we miss something deeper. In a sentence, I can't bare to explore a deeper self because it might mean losing cable internet service. 11:58:16 PM  comment []
