What would you want from a book?

[Misagh]

@Nahm Well i don't know what book you are writing, but a good books sums up its central point in its first paragraph

[Nahm]

@Misagh We are in tune already on that one. The first paragraph is perfectly straight forward, and won’t be believed. ??????

I would like to read a book that makes me remember to love. And makes me forget everything that I think I know.

If you were to read a book, and it could deliver to you, or give you anything, any realization, any knowledge, any wisdom, and knowing, clarity on anything,  guidance in life - etc,  etc. anything.....What would you most want from a book? 

Very good question...and a very hard one to answer. So far, I would like to know what I don't know. How can there be an answer to this if I don't know what it is, right?  I came here because Leo presented spiritual enlightenment and nothingness in an excellent way, which led me to looking at Shinzen Young's clips.

I think I would like to read a book on, "Top 10 Unknown/Profound Things to Humankind." Well, these type of spiritual books are already written. But, the question is, how can I apply it to my own life? An answer to this question is going through a process of self-discovery. While we are living in our egos (body/embodiment), we are here to learn stuff and make life better. Yes, for the better is the goal because by nature no one wants to suffer or see others suffer.

This one? It's in that video.

@SOUL That’s really funny. I appreciate it. It doesn’t make a bit of difference if I write it or not. It’s worthless.

I’m intrigued, but I don’t understand. Can you elaborate a little on that? Thanks!!!!

@Nahm @NoSelfSelf

I mean that what we think we want and what would actually most benefit us can be two radically different things. I could easily say, write a book about how to get rich quick (it sure seems to me like that is something I’d be most interested in), but then would be left unfulfilled and unhappy! 

Leo’s “10 important things you don’t know you want” video comes to mind. People often don’t really know what it is that they want. 

I would argue though that in the end, how to be as happy as possible, and feel the best possible emotions would be the most interesting read for me. 

Are you intending to write a book? Please keep us posted!

@InfinitePotential

That’s just awesome. I hear ya now. Thank you. Yes, I’m writing a book, and thank you for the encouragement. ??

[Nahm]

@Mikael89 I like you too.

I would like to second this

[Tistepiste]

Have you started your book already? And found a topic? Very intrigued!

The topics I was interested in were already mentioned, so no use in repeating them!

[Sahil Pandit]

An insight that would change my direct experience 

[Nahm]

@Sven @Tistepiste @Sahil Pandit

Yes, thanks it’s going well.  I appreciate your comments! This is the wheelhouse I’m going for. ??

[DrewNows]

creating a book!?!? HOW EXCITING!!!! Nahm you animal! 

 

it must be unique (obviously), bold, dirty, lovely, wizardly, and fictitious. If it cannot fit all of these categories, it will be utter babble. 

 

Now i must ask...what do you want from this book? (which i must say is the only pertinent question)

Gave that some thought. 

Thank you. Seriously. ??

Four sections of the book:

• A very personal and honest autobiography of a Self-realized person, which would describe the bittersweet journey of their life, inspire the readers and make them cry.
• Their deepest insights about the true nature of Reality, God and the Ego. 
•  Practical advice for people wanting to walk in their footsteps
• A few pages with beautiful pictures of pastures and riverbeds.

Section 4 would be made out of LSD blotters. I'd buy that book, and use it too.
