Publisher's Synopsis
The Telling Stones culminates in a fascinating account of one man's awakening to the nature of his true self, but this is by no means the only reason to read it. Read it for wise and witty stories of friendships, drugs, roistering, searching and travelling in the 1960's. Read how the spirit of the 60's reverberates down the decades. Read it if you're curious about the meaning of life, the universe and everything. Read it if you like a good read. Richard Sylvester says of The Telling Stones: "Riktam's joy at the simplicity of life seen in awakening is obvious. 'Such a roller-coaster filled with lively gasping nothings. I wouldn't be dead for quids.' This book adds to the joy." About the Author Riktam Barry was Born in Australia in 1950 and after a troubled childhood he focused in his adolescence on the aspects of the 1960's that promised internal quiet: meditations and practices, gurus and promises. Driven by this, he spent years questing in India and America, finally awakening by mistake in Santa Fe in 2003.
