Summary:
Over decades of fighting techinques and meditation practice, Peter Ralston discovered a wondering and paradoxical fact: that true awareness arises from a state of not-knowing. Also the most honest investigation of self and nature, he says, is usually often sabotaged by our propensity to grab too quickly for answers and ideas even as we retreat towards the safety of the known. This ‘Hitchhiker’s Information to Consciousness’ provides helpful guideposts along an experiential journey for those Western thoughts predisposed to wandering off to older habits, appreciated presumptions, and a stubbornly solid sense of self. With ease and clearness Ralston teaches visitors how to become aware of the background patterns they are usually too busy, pressured, or distracted to note. The Book of Not Knowing points out the ways people get trapped in their lives and will be offering readers a way to make new choices about every aspect of their lives, from a location of awareness rather than autopilot.
