The Practical Importance Of Seeing

I wanted to share a dispatch from headless.org.   Richard Lang runs the website, and offers a e-course called Reflections - A Course in Seeing.  This is #88:

It would be difficult to overstate the practical importance of this discovery, its consequences for everyday living. All alienation, all separation, the many-sided threat of hostile things and persons and situations – these are no more than bad dreams. All is You. How could you fear Yourself? How could you despise, resent, be bored by Yourself? How could you not love Yourself? (Look For Yourself, Douglas Harding)

I also found a 45 minute except from a talk Douglas Harding gave at the age of 93.  You can listen to the man here.

Douglas’ profound grasp of the simple truth of reality, and his amazing ability to share that vision, makes him one of my favorite mystics of all time.  I cannot recommend Richard’s website enough.  He was a long time student of, and friend to, Douglas, and his dedication to keep the remarkable path of headlessness alive and well is astonishing.

How do Douglas’ ideas catch you?
