false 871894 1 We try to escape from the play of life and the suffering that being "a person in the world" entails. Our efforts to find spiritual enlightenment have the opposite effect and reinforce an underlying feeling of lack, of separation. In Life Without a Centre, Jeff Foster suggests that there is only ever the present appearance of life, with no individual at its core who could ever escape even if they wanted to. The entire spiritual search is nothing more than a game we play with ourselves, the cosmic entertainment. Jeff cuts through the confusion and frustration surrounding the search for escape through spiritual enlightenment, by pointing to the utterly obvious: This moment, and everything that arises in it, is already the liberation that is sought. Life, just as it is, is already what we've been searching for our entire lives. Jeff Foster graduated in astrophysics from Cambridge University. Soon after graduation, life events propelled him onto an intense two-year spiritual search, culminating in the realisation that there was never anything to find in the first place. He currently writes and talks on what some people have called "non-duality", but which he just refers to as "the utterly, utterly obvious". 857259 12 12 2006 Life Without a Centre: Awakening from the Dream of Separation total:6|5:4|4:1|3:1| 6 27 12 5 3 0 false false Mon May 25 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Apr 28 07:38:43 -0700 2009 Mon May 25 10:52:02 -0700 2009 more...]]> 0 0 false false Wed Apr 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed May 06 17:56:20 -0700 2009 Wed May 06 17:56:49 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Tue Jun 16 19:57:24 -0700 2009 Mon Jan 19 19:30:05 -0800 2009 Tue Jun 16 19:57:24 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Tue Nov 11 14:12:23 -0800 2008 Tue Nov 11 14:17:36 -0800 2008 5 0 false false Tue Jun 09 20:23:00 -0700 2009 Thu Sep 04 00:02:57 -0700 2008 Tue Jun 09 20:23:00 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Jun 18 11:31:39 -0700 2009 Thu Jun 18 11:31:39 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Jun 17 20:01:00 -0700 2009 Wed Jun 17 20:01:00 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue May 26 19:38:05 -0700 2009 Tue May 26 19:38:05 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Apr 03 19:30:15 -0700 2009 Fri Apr 03 19:30:15 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Sun Oct 19 08:59:22 -0700 2008 Sun Oct 19 08:59:22 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Tue Oct 14 06:28:23 -0700 2008 Tue Oct 14 06:28:23 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Tue Jul 08 11:23:52 -0700 2008 Tue Jul 08 11:23:52 -0700 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=871894
