Whereof One Cannot Speak: Absolute Consciousness Beyond the Self - Paperback

by Peter Ralston (Author)

Using his unique approach, once again, Peter Ralston tackles an unprecedented and inconceivable depth of consciousness. Properly understood, this book could transform and enlighten the worlds of psychology, spirituality, personal growth, philosophy, science, Buddhism, and every other attempt at grasping the truth. The goal of this book is no less than having you attain a profound consciousness of the absolute nature of existence beyond the limits of self and the accumulated conclusions of human history.

This book should not be your first encounter with Ralston's work, it is far too advanced. It is best to start with the trilogy: The Book of Not Knowing, Pursuing Consciousness, and The Genius of Being before tackling this one.

In a progression of illuminating assertions, Ralston shows us that the self is not some ethereal "object" within as is widely accepted and persists despite the failure of exhaustive investigations to locate this inner-self. But this is just the tip of the iceberg. It turns out our entire reality is beyond any self. Grasping this demands an unprecedented depth of consciousness, but it also leads to unprecedent levels of joy and freedom.
