New Book - Haunted Universe

[dpmduran]

Many books have been written about the spiritual quest, the supposed journey to higher understanding. These books promise to make your life better, to give you the tools necessary to navigate the world in a mature and saint like fashion. They promise joy, bliss, higher vibrations, mystical experience, ultimate peace, a better marriage, friendship with the dolphins, etc. "Haunted Universe" promises none of that, it is not a book about making your life better, it is a book about the end of life, the annihilation of the soul and the final loss of self. If you want to find hope, or peace or love then buy one of those other books. But if you have finally grown tired of all that, if you now dare to peek behind the curtain, to remove the mask and stare deep into the abyss, then "Haunted Universe" is your guide. It may be the most dangerous, frightening and potentially enlightening book you will ever read.

So what have you learned from it yourself?

Do they offer any evidence for their claims or the premises that the conclusions are drawn from?

Some disturbing concepts that I never entertained before. That people don't exist! That there is no such thing as enlightenment, since there is no one to get enlightened.

There is only ONE.....apparently manifesting as two.

Sounds like bullshit to me.

No, of course not! Except to say, belief is not enough, but knowing it from experiencing the awakening, that we never existed, and come from nothingness.

Is this a joke?

I've said it before and I'll say it again, but the only real explanation for the existence of everything is simply that nothing exists at all.. Cool

Nothingness/Non-existence is a paradox and therefore logically impossible

Would that 'one' be a non-contingent actuality, such as my vacuum cleaner?
