On Having No Head

In 1961, Douglas Harding came to an experience of his true nature—what he called “headlessness.” What he had taken to be “himself” suddenly fell away along with the crushing burden of the past. There came a perception of everything, as if for the first time—pure and unclouded; the beauty that had always been here was revealed. This Place—mistakenly regarded as occupied by a head (in spite of direct experience)—actually contains the entire Universe. In this profound, brilliantly written book, you are invited to explore this Place—t he most accessible, nearest, and in a sense well-known; the honest exploration of which (available to everyone!) holds a treasure trove of surprises and unimaginable wonders.
