Preview The Book of No One: Talks and Dialogues on Non-Duality and Liberation
Richard Sylvester is a humanistic psychologist, therapist and lecturer. For thirty years he engaged with a variety of spiritual practices while also training in psychotherapeutic techniques and teaching counselling. In 2002 Richard met Tony Parsons and, as he writes in his first book, I Hope You Die Soon, “That was the end of what I thought had been my life”. There then occurred two events which he describes in his book as ‘awakening’ and ‘liberation’. Richard lives in a country town in South East England. He holds meetings about non-duality in London and other locations in the U.K. Readers’ Comments on ‘I Hope You Die Soon’ by Richard Sylvester I have just finished reading your book ‘I Hope You Die Soon’. I want to thank you. It is totally releasing. And I had so much fun and laughter reading it. R.G. – Germany Sometimes I come across a book which conveys the sharing of Oneness in a very simple direct way. Your book fell into my hands a few weeks ago. It would be an injustice not to e-mail you to thank you for the sharing of this seeing. It’s so direct and without any spiritual romanti- cism. It leaves nothing to be played with. A BIG thanks to you for this sharing. A.M. – U.K. Thank you for making the impossible possible! Thank you for having written this book! Now, it finally makes sense that nothing ever made sense! B.S. – Switzerland I have read your book many times. It is perhaps the most direct and helpful expression and description of what awakening and liberation are and are not that I have read in over thirty years of reading. I.M. – France I have been reading your book and I have to tell you I have been laugh- ing so much! It’s all about me, that book. M.F. – Canada I really enjoyed your book – clear words that opened up awareness behind the words – thank you. M.S. – U.K. The words in your book are such sweet perfume. D.H. – U.S.A. I want to thank you most gratefully for your wonderful book. I imme- diately knew the book was for me by its title. I simply love it and your sense of humour and its simplicity. Although I have long finished the book, I carry it off to bed with me every night and read a page or two before going to sleep. E.D. – U.K. Just read your book.... it’s great.... thanks. What can be said? There is a sense of gratitude for this book and what appears to happen is this e-mail communicating about this gratitude. C.B. – Holland Last night I read your book ‘I Hope You Die Soon’, in German ‘Erleuchtet –und was jetzt’. Thank you so much for these words, although I know words cannot describe This. I read it and all I can say is “Yes, yes, it is That. J.B. – Germany I have just finished your book over the weekend and I found it a delight- ful read. Everything you stated resonated with me strongly as true. D.C. – U.K. I’m writing for my husband and myself to thank you for your book ‘I Hope You Die Soon’. While we understand that Oneness wrote it and Oneness read it, in this physicality the pointing to was a good read. We too have sought the final enlightenment through various disciplines. What a relief to find there is nowhere to go, nothing to do and nothing to be accomplished. Unconditional love is all there is. Isn’t that fantastic? J.S. – U.S.A. Yesterday I read your book and was very touched by it. It felt as if they were my own words. It expressed so well what I would like to say about how it is, but I cannot find the words to express it. So thank you very much.
