These essays show you exactly how and where to look to find this Treasure, and indicate the immense personal and global implications of this Awakening. Harding's work represents a breakthrough in communicating the experience and meaning of our True Identity.

This is a very unique book that outlines the author's journey into finding and sharing his true "identity". The author's methods and workshop experiments help the reader break through the traditional subject/object frame of reference and the pitfalls of religious and technical terminology. This is not an easy book and requires and open mind and a totally different perspective in observing our lives; however, I would highly recommend it.

I enjoyed this collection of short articles, essays and musings on the works of DH, and his views on spirituality, teachers and the path in general. It's not as practical or focused as some of his other books, but is a good addition after the author's other more practical explanations on his 'system' of seeing differently. Personally, I find the author's writing style a little long-winded and verbose, however, he does describe things in a colourful and rather unique sort of way. At times I felt that I was rushing to finish it, and at other times I really got absorbed into some topics such as his views on other spiritual teachers.

I like the short chapter style. Some were hard to follow, but having independent chapters to flip through makes the bad chapters just a quick skip.
