About this listen
'Reason and imagination and all mental chatter died down... I forgot my name, my humanness, my thingness, all that could be called me or mine. Past and future dropped away... Lighter than air, clearer than glass, altogether released from myself, I was nowhere around.' Thus Douglas Harding describes his first experience of headlessness, or no self. First published in 1961, this is a classic work which conveys the experience that mystics of all times have tried to put words to.

Really interesting approach to loosing the ego/self.
I do think the state of mind is paramount when you do turn your attention to yourself and this is not emphasised enough in the book (but I’ve only read it once), ie be in a mediative trance-like state prior to the inward visualisation of your body

Subtly Profound
What’s being touched upon and discussed here is subtle. However within the subtle is the absolute insight / knowing / looking. You are total and complete openness. Douglas goes about this is in a unique and creative way. Thank you Douglas and thank you Richard for keeping the teaching going strong.

A masterpiece on nondualism
I absolutely loved this book. It’s one of the best books on nondualism I’ve ever read. Beautifully delivered in audio format. I’m going to listen to this over again and will recommend to everyone.

Enjoyable, but bits seemed like woo
Not the best written text in the world but some insights worth thinking about

Where' s my head at?
I enjoyed this short book immensely and it gave me a real sense of voidness.

This book is invaluable to meditation practitioner
I have enjoyed both reading and listening to this book. I find the experience psychedelic at times while trying to grasp the concepts put forward by Harding. To really understand this book requires an open mind and a playful attitude.

Load of nonsense!
I was recommended this book through one of Sam Harris’ books. I’m very scientifically minded and just couldn’t fathom this nonsense. Maybe if you’re more spiritual this book is for you. For me I’ll certainly be returning it!

Nice idea, perhaps, but too much hokum
The idea of seeing the world through a viewport, and letting the world come in through that same viewport, is interesting at best. The author however uses too many hokum to fill the book.
