About this listen

'Reason and imagination and all mental chatter died down... I forgot my name, my humanness, my thingness, all that could be called me or mine. Past and future dropped away... Lighter than air, clearer than glass, altogether released from myself, I was nowhere around.' Thus Douglas Harding describes his first experience of headlessness, or no self. First published in 1961, this is a classic work which conveys the experience that mystics of all times have tried to put words to.

I will only criticize the performance of the narrator: these kind of stories should be read by the author. Always. Having a professional narrator read highly biographical material full of insights, revelations, or tumultuous emotions never translates well. One could just as well have the digital voice of Google maps do the storytelling. Buy the book I recommend!

No head. No thinking. No problems. Maybe.
