[book] The Transparency Of Things, Rupert Spira (10/10)

[Markus]

A no-nonsense description of the nature of experience, the ego and enlightenment, the relative and the absolute, in a way that couldn't be simpler, through brilliant analogies. A must-read for anyone who is trying to get their arms around what enlightenment is and isn't, and how their current experience is keeping them from reaching it. Don't let the repetitiveness and seeming simplicity make you think you should skim over this - repetition is essential for intellectually grasping something. This book does not go into detail about techniques for pursuing enlightenment.
