See how the mystics Douglas Harding teaches in this book how to see like the mystics. Essentially, it is about setting aside what has been learned and perceiving in an intelligently naive way what is truly present from my point of view right now. The author came to this insight one day when he looked down at his body and realized that he could not see his head. He recognized that from his viewpoint, he was headless. This led to a radical shift in perspective that changed his life forever. A heavy burden was lifted from him, and he perceived the unity of all living things.
