Dialogues on Reality: An Exploration into the Nature of Our Ultimate Identity

Dr. Powell takes us on a journey beyond the realm of the ego, beyond the illusion of subject and object, good and bad, high and low, to the ground on which the manifest universe rests. This is where the mind and intellection cannot reach and what is beyond words. Yet in this book, Dr. Powell does a masterful job clearly indicating the path to where we have never been

This is the most amazing, most soul-searching work in philosophy and spirituality that I have ever read.

It's not a literary masterpeice, but the ideas conveyed are truly mind-blowing. Most of the ideas are quite simple and fundamental, but they deal with the very core of existence and reality.

I'm usually a very fast reader, but it took me months to read this book, simply because of the intensity of the concepts. I had to digest it in small pieces, and absorb it over time before reading onwards.

One of my favourite quotes from the book:

" There is no fragmentation in reality; it's one ocean of infinity, it is consciousness. Now, this we always are, we don't to strive to attain it, but we're not aware of it because we are constantly in a state of duality, in conflict. We are everlasting trying to attain something, not awakened to what we are already. "

I picked up this book about twenty years ago and read the first nine chapters. I put it aside and then, a week ago, reread them and the final tenth chapter. Hopefully wisdom comes with age because I seem to have gotten a lot more out of it this time. It's a very good book that basically says there is no separation between "I" and "You," The Perceiver and The Object, and that we are all Infinite Beings, each of us seeing Reality through our own (mis)perceptions -- and that we need to Wake Up!
