This book contains an essay about the author's personal experience in achieving, suddenly and unawares, a sort of enlightenment where he realized that he didn't matter and was absorbing his experience of the Himalayas without any other associated thought aside from pure sensation. Personal experience I am always willing to read even if it carries a premise or themes I don't necessarily agree with or believe in at all. However, the author seems to be playing a little word game with the headless bit though I do dig the magical experience of exploring Point-Of-View that happened briefly around the center of the text. The postscript seemed unnecessary to me although it was attending to criticisms of the previous editions of the book. The main complaint I have is with just about everything zen I've ever read, listened to, or watched. It always starts with sudden out-of-the-blue enlightenment with only lip service paid to any method or definable practice to get there other than endorsing "meditation" in the vaguest of senses. What's the routine man? Where's the actual technique, why do you just mention the word as if you've already explained it near the last third?
All said and done, I did enjoy reading it and am glad I did especially since this thing was a very quick read. Although, I'm not sure I would recommend this one save for some light reading about one man's life-changing mystical experience.… (altro)
