Like being confused? Read this book. I think Parsons strategy is the confuse the hell out of you so your mind gives up and you're left with the realisation that there isn't anything to get or achieve in regards to the spiritual path.
What I learned though is this: - Our thoughts are just another sense of ours. They are just another thing happening. Let it be, as with everything else in life.
When willed-intellect takes rest true nature of being is cognized and I is dissolved of dream in emptiness, knowthingness and everything where only now is happening or not. wow
