The Formless Self

Our lives are out of balance: we have forgotten the non-dual, the Eternal. Basically, we have become spiritual seekers because something about our lives feels “off”. But we often fail to see to what extent our “personal problems” are also a symptom of a more general, societal dysfunction. In this book, I try to explain why we, as society and as humanity, have become so lamentably one-sided and disconnected. I also describe in some detail how we can reverse this self-alienation, which is the main reason for our current “polycrisis”.
Paradoxically, we can only express our individuality fully and creatively when we are also aware of our true, spiritual Nature. Indeed we can only allow and encourage others to flourish as individuals when we see everybody as a unique expression of the One Self. This book is about the integration of the relative, the limited (form, mind) and the Absolute, the Unlimited (Life, Being). However, it is only with non-dual awakening that this integration process can really pick up momentum. We need to support each other in this all-important quest for truth, love and wholeness.
