INTRODUCTION

Dear reader,

This book is not poetry, although on the page it may look like it. One of the main inspirations for this work is the Tao Te Ching. Although I don't know Chinese, let alone ancient Chinese, I have imitated the brevity and verse format that appear in the best translations of this masterful work. The book itself is inspired by years of reading ancient and modern spiritual texts and listening to spiritual talks from around the world. It is an amalgamation of things that have seeped into my consciousness. I would not have written this book if there had not been significant glimpses of what the book speaks about.

As a cohesive whole, the book is designed to resist labels and categories because that is just the type of energy that prevents the dropping away of the illusion of twoness. Creating Thisism (the word this will be explained momentarily)
