For The Love Of Everything

by Lisa Cairns

A dynamic, provocative, full-on explosion of non-duality as the blazing essence of reality. Brutally honest in everything from its denial of there even being a “true” non-dual teaching to its fierce yet totally empathetic ripping apart of every last shred of belief in the separate self, this book is a truly unique expression of the non-dual perception of the apparent world. Julie Rumbarger has brilliantly edited excerpts from many of Lisa’s talks that flow into as clear a pattern as any book ever meticulously constructed to explain a subject. The early chapters lay the groundwork and basic worldview of non-duality with an outline of core understandings and a profound personal example from Lisa’s life that allows readers to grasp the sometimes wildly poetic, sometimes Zen-like, intimate, bold and even shocking declarations that follow.If someone was casually interested in what non-duality was all about, I’m not sure I would recommend this book. But for anyone who has been waiting to hear a voice speaking of reality from beyond the personal self, free of the conditioning of culture, belief, ideology and concepts, "For The Love of Everything" is a rare gem that points to a vision of existence most people will never hear expressed in their lifetime. Make no mistake, this is not some trite, new age book on how to attain enlightenment, create a new and improved Earth, make your life better by becoming a more spiritual person, or learning how to be in the moment. If anything, it is about the end of that search, as Lisa exposes the delusions behind such concepts and transcends and demolishes the duality of conventional ideas of personal love, morality, and the nature of reality. Incredibly brave in its refusal to edit out sections that will seem controversial to the spiritual seeker expecting a work about “oneness” and peacefully loving everything, this is the ultimate love affair that excludes nothing."For The Love of Everything" joins whatever small library of the most vital, alive, resonant books on advaita/non-duality anyone might care to collect, and is instantly one of the most rarefied, cogent, startlingly fresh, and significant “spiritual” books ever published---even though Lisa would remind us how untrue and unreal all of these thoughts, as well as the person who imagines they are thinking them, truly are.
