Dismantling the Fantasy

Informationen zum Autor Darryl Bailey was drawn to meditation at the age of fourteen. He spent the next seventeen years exploring awareness and concentration practices from Christian, Hindu, Sufi, Taoist, Buddhist, and Western psychology sources. He then spent a further nine years apprenticed to mindfulness teacher Ruth Denison, and another six years as a Buddhist meditation monk in the Thai Forest Tradition, under the guidance of Ajahn Sumedho. In both situations he was asked to begin teaching. Along the way, there was recurring contact with the independent philosopher Jiddu Krishnamurti, as well as a significant connection with the Advaita sage Robert Adams. Klappentext If you move into the deepest teachings of any great spiritual tradition, at some point you must move beyond the tradition itself and any idea of enlightenment. What is it that remains when the spiritual path, and even enlightenment, is transcended? Dismantling the Fantasy is a consideration of the movement out of thought itself. This may sound extreme or even impossible, but again it is a simple consideration of our potential, and you can easily understand it from the life experience you already have.

Dismantling the Fantasy is a consideration of the movement out of thought itself, revealing how our bodies, minds, and emotions are in a constant process of change, and how all words and ideas are an effort to understand and describe existence-which simply is, whether we're thinking about it or not. With this thorough investigation of experience, readers will realize their erroneous impressions of form, and replace them with a sense of life as motion without shape.
