This Is It: Interviews with Teachers of Non-Duality Including Eckhart Tolle, author of The P ower Of Now

I thought I'd throw in my two cents so here goes. After investigating several spiritual paths and "concluding" they were all very nice and even complicated, I came across this pure advaita business especially Tony Parson"s stuff and I realized this was or had to be as close to the truth as I suspected one could get. It is absolutely simple!!!(once you have a rudimentary understanding). I absolutely knew in my heart that the truth just had to be something absolutely simple and lo and behold....here it is. This business that Jan talks about denies nothing out there in spiritual land and judges nothing as all is absolutely perfect in the "daydream". I absolutely love Northern Lights review below as there was an element of truth contained therein. This neo-advaita is a joke and if awakening should ever happen for NorthernLights he will,in fact, laugh and laugh and laugh, and see that it was and is - that everything is just that....a cosmic joke - yet behind the joke is absolute peace and some might say even love. Pssst... it yet it goes even deeper, but we'll have to save that for another day....

I gave this book 5 stars mainly for the Eckhart Tolle interview it contains. It's an interview that really demystifies him. I highly recommend it if you are a fan of Tolle yet feel he is somehow above you or better than you. Many of the other interviews are good as well.

The book, This Is It, by Jan Kerschott, is unerringly explicit in addressing the core of true non-dualism. It does so in both a general, sweeping fashion, in relation to a basic, overall consideration of religion and spirituality, and in a precise, deliberate manner clarifying the misleading (and divinely perfect) dualistic teachings that present themselves as non-dualistic. Why is this important? Because it is so easy to believe in a path to what is. I was heavily into an understanding that was couched in non-dualistic notions, but upon looking more closely was, actually steeped in duality. Such directives as the need to meditate more, be silent more, be more honest, more passionate, more, more, more have been seen to only push away freedom. Kerschott's book spoke to a deep place in awareness and exposed in nakedness the contradictions so visible when seen with clarity. This book is not for everyone. Anyone who wants to progress and develop into what already is will not enjoy this. But if you are open to seeing that there is nothing but the truth, then freedom already is.

"This book is an uncompromising assertion of the absolute Oneness of Consciousness. Jan Kersschot is unwavering in pointing directly to the Unicity that is the ground-of-being for being-ness, Itself. The author reminds us of the seductive perils inherent in dualistic thought and, instead, invites his readers to discover that the ultimate Truth lies within their own heart-of-hearts. Jan's sparkling dialogues with several non-dual teachers are fascinating examples of how Consciousness joyously dances with Itself. Few other non-dual writers are able to describe the spiritually ineffable with as much clarity as does Jan Kersschot. I highly recommend this book."

This book points to the divine and limitless nature of everything that is. It goes one where other books stop. And puts in perspective all spiritual rules once and forever. Nice interviews, especially those with Tony Parsons and Eckhart Tolle. An original and indispensible addition to the spiritual library!
