Publisher's Synopsis
Talk of spiritual "awakening" is growing ever more popular these days. Ever wonder what it takes to actually become a Buddha yourself? This one-year correspondence between two self-described "friends of Truth" will undoubtedly serve you well if this kind of pursuit interests you. The Clothes Have No Emperor is a pragmatic, no-nonsense, approach to spirituality which provides a fascinating glimpse into the waking up process. Distilled down to its essence, the path this book illuminates is the difference between what you think and what you are. The authors generously provide readers the opportunity to be privy to their private correspondence, which often evokes a feeling akin to stumbling across a sign marker in the wilderness. For a lost spiritual seeker, abiding non-dual awareness marks the "way home." The authors, DJ and David, eschew transitory, state bound, pleasurable, transcendent mystical experience in favour of the real McCoy - waking up. Attention is placed squarely on the impersonal, unchanging Self certain Hindus allude to, the non-self/no-mind some Buddhist traditions stress, or the unified Christ consciousness Christian mystics speak of. Clarity and awareness are paramount. Discover how the ego creates unhappiness in your life. The call to awaken beckons. The authors assure you wholeness, joy and peace await!
