Opis

"The Way to Nowhere" is a philosophical and spiritual journey through life, beginning with my early childhood and leading up to my most recent exploration of Ecuador, where the culture, climate, people and lifestyle reminded me very much of my travels in the Philippines and Indonesia. There in South-East Asia I met some remarkable individuals, psychic surgeons and tribal shamans, and an old lady of 140, living in a remote mountain village, far from the noise and bustle of the materialist and consumer-oriented civilization. . The book relates the insights and experiences which occurred to me in the course of my eventful life, through my interest in philosophy and spiritual teachings, particularly those of J. Krishnamurti and G.I.Gurdjieff. It deals with my personal philosophy of life which closely follows the Tao of Lao Tzu and the Middle Way of the Buddha. As the title of the book implies, the way itself is the vehicle and the destination. There is no time, no meaning, apart from our earth-bound perception of it, and even the present moment, the Now, is so elusive and unidentifiable. There is only that which is, the ground of Being, the way to Nowhere. The book may provide the reader with insights into lifes enigmas.
