Summary
"Simple Man - Living in Non-Dual Duality" synthesizes the many religious and spiritual movements through the language of mysticism, helping us see the forest for the trees and bridging the gap between psychology and spirituality.
The core question of this book is: "Who am I?" Who are we? Can we understand this with our rational thinking? We are born knowing that we will die one day. What is the meaning of all this? Why are we humans so complex, and why is this sometimes accompanied by so much suffering? Many traditions have attempted to find an answer and remedy for this. But they often contradict and compete with each other. What to do or just not do? In response, the core vocation of this book focuses on awakening.
This book explores the various paths that can be taken to achieve this, and concludes that there is a perspective that perceives man as simple man, as "I am" (consciousness), a mirror image of "Being" (Awareness). It can offer insights into your own awakening journey.
This book can be characterized as a source of inspiration, a guide, and a reference work and can be classified within the genres of mysticism, non-duality, and spirituality, as well as physics, philosophy and psychology.
