Perfect Brilliant Stillness discussion
Any read the book "Perfect Brilliant Stillness" by David Carse?
My mother is big into these types of books recently, and recommended I read it. I did so and it was a lot better than I expected. You first have to get over the way he writes, because he does not refer to much using the ego, or possessiveness, and is very non-western in his thinking. It is something of an enlightment guru style read, but there are many great ideas in it.
What is life? What is existence? What is I? These are questions we all struggle with at times. For Carse, he had a revelatory moment in a rainforest where his sense of self went away, and he was left with a kind of clean existence, beyond the normal concerns we have.
I was raised christian/buddhist by my father and mother, so some of his idea really reasonated. Anyone want to have a discusion about some of these their own journey into existentialism?
