Too Intimate for Words

by John Astin

In the dedication to this book, John Astin "These words and concepts are dedicated to the Divine Mystery that cannot be spoken of, but is the source of every utterance." The great spiritual teacher Ramana Maharshi once remarked that just as one may use a thorn to remove another thorn from his hand, so too can we use concepts and words to point us beyond them. This is the spirit and essence of "Too Intimate for Words," a book of poetry and prose that invites readers to remember what in truth has never really been forgotten. As John writes in one “Wake up! You are the Beloved feasting on Itself, the wave remembering that it has always been water.” About this book, best-selling author and spiritual teacher, Joan Borysenko “John Astin is a modern-day Rumi. His words are a window to the Absolute, a transmission of wisdom carrying the presence, joy, and clarity of an authentic teacher.”
