Synopsis "The Turning Point: to Being, Awareness, Joy "

From the Foreword by Douglas Harding: This book has three essential components. (1) A lot of words, plus the points they make. (2) Pictures and diagrams of mine to help make sense of those points. (3) Half a dozen experiments or tests or exercises designed to reveal what you can see you are, in sharp distinction from what you think you are and are told you are. These experiments are the backbone of the whole. I can't stress too strongly that they are for doing, and just reading about them is worse than useless. Yes, much worse!Since at Root every chapter is about the same Thing--or rather No-thing--it matters little if you find some chapters obscure of incomprehensible. Just read on, and you will come to other parts of the book that are quite clear and easy going.I conclude on a warning note--to believe anything you read in this book without testing it to the limit is to condemn yourself to bondage and slavery.

Douglas Edison Harding (1909–2007) was an English philosopher and mystic, known for his innovative approach to consciousness and self-perception. After a transformative experience in 1943, he developed the concept of "headlessness" (headless), a metaphor to describe the direct experience of non-duality and the absence of ego. This approach became the core of his spiritual and philosophical teaching.

Among his most notable works are Living Without a Head, The Hierarchy of Heaven and Earth, To Be and Not to Be, That is the Answer, and The Trial of the Man Who Claimed to Be God. Harding also founded the Sholland Trust to spread his method of self-discovery, known as "The Headless Way," which includes practical experiments to explore the true nature of being.
