A keeper forever

Revisado: 01-12-22

Hardly open or think about any of the other hundred or so books I own on non-duality. David Carse describes; he does not prescribe—no methods or techniques as he constantly reminds us, there is me to do them or anything else. Terence Stamp obviously embraces this book whole heartedly. He reads as if he wrote it himself. Enjoy!

de-LI-cious!!!

Revisado: 06-03-21

Title a little misleading for some, maybe, BUT it’s an account of how all the creatures she studied and/or cared for from a very early age taught her to be a good creature. The content is fascinating and often lyrical, and the author’s narration brings it all to life. Exquisite.

Hated it!

Revisado: 09-22-20

Listened to about four hours of being convinced of Nora’s losses. The tediousness was indescribable.

Poems read aloud. Ahhh.

Revisado: 05-24-20

Some scholar said that poems were meant to be read aloud. And, I’ve never experienced any as these read aloud by their author, Mary Oliver. Her reading endows these exquisite observations with eloquent and moving language that moves me in every line. We miss you Mary Oliver.

Unimaginably helpful and masterfully written blending of 12 Steps and Advaita

Revisado: 03-13-20

I never imagined that the 12 Steps could be so accessible and helpful. I’ve always found the Big Book off-putting, but Wayne, by skillfully including the philosophy of Advaita, has helped me see them from a very different and welcome perspective. To me, Wayne Liquorman brought personal and independent powerlessness out of mere scholarship to an everyday way of life for people like me. The only other writer who compares is Ramesh Balsekar, especially his early writings. Try Wayne and Ramesh, both uncomplicated and accomplished writers.

Beautiful evolution of parent and child relationship

Revisado: 11-19-19

I am 71 years old and never experienced any one moment much less years of parental interest in my life. I understand, now, that that just wasn’t possible for them. So, I was intrigued by Mr. Finnegan’s story of how it came about for Mollie and him. His respect for Mollie’s choice to climb and his growing admiration for her effort were carefully and honestly revealed. And, his interview of her at the end revealed a mutual respect and honesty that brought tears to my eyes. So well done. Wouldn’t have missed it for the world.

Lots of ah-ha moments for any member of a family without the typical Hallmark messages.

Revisado: 11-12-19

Contains a lot of ah-ha moments for anyone who has had any kind of family.
Not sappy. Not soporific like I’d feared before listening. Golden in many ways.

Compelling science woven with devotion to her subjects

Revisado: 11-10-19

Jahren drew me right into her desire to know and experience what I’ve always known unscientifically. Years ago something prompted me to meditate and imagine what would be like to be a tree. I actually felt like a tree. It startled me so tat I pulled out of it in shock. Wish I’d stayed with it. I am always grateful to find others who have the respect and awe that I have. Than-you Ms.Jahren!

Much meat in this

Revisado: 03-01-19

Much meat that I’d forgotten about the Course. Would, though have done with fewer anecdotal stories and Mr. Cohen’s narration which seemed as though he was stiffly reading another author’s book. There seemed to be concern about perfect enunciation rather than just conveying his understanding from where he was. But I increased speed to 1.5 times the recorded speed, and the unnecessary and tiresome pauses between every phrase were less noticeable. I wanted to say, “just relax and bring the message in your present enjoyment of it”. David Hawkins, who never claimed to be a teacher of anything used to say that by ACIM’s Lesson 75, you realize that your thoughts don’t mean anything. There is the liberation. I am inspired by Alan Cohen to actually practice the lessons til that point is clear and unassailable. This understanding, though, doesn’t have to be at or about Lesson 75. The first three lessons can be enough for some. And, maybe it is enough to hear and accept that the ego is a severely limited idea. I like what one “awakened” one recently said in a YouTube clip. He said “the Course is great at showing you what you are NOT. What could be left to say or think about as to what you are? Then, you put the Course away as a learning tool.” So, I believe that ACIM, the 12 steps in the 12 Step Program and other such methods are tools to reveal what we are not, and with luck, yes “luck”, as most masters say, there is the dawning, and what we thought we were is not there. Good luck! And I say that most sincerely!

Morbid secrets, that is

Revisado: 11-11-18

First two secrets were presented in the first two chapters of about 40 minutes each of the most unpleasant, ghoulish human behavior. Perhaps I misread the publisher ‘s description. Didn’t listen to anymore. I’m not squeamish, but was expecting something different.
