What is all the furor about? Recently, I was referred a book by my friend Rupert Spira, which turned my head upside down. It was written by Peter Dzuiban, miraculously, someone who had no previous contact with the popular advaita and nonduality crowd. I wrote about his book and inventory started disappearing from shelves.

In Fact, as of this date, the hardcover version of Peter's book is not currently available,

Luckily, StillnessSpeaks represents the book now in it's bookstore and the paperback copy is now available through us.

You have to read this book to understand the excitement. I called it a finnishing book.

To assist students of non duality with an interest in quantum theory and  consciousness,  the work of Stanley Sobottka, a Professor Emeritus of Physics at The University of Virginia is one of “best of breed”. His “Course in Consciousness” covers the spectrum of physics to spirituality.

This is a dense, well researched work, recommended for those so inclined by Francis Lucille during a discussion regarding Libet and other experiments that illustrate that, in fact, we neither control nor author our thoughts. This being realized, we are prepared to conclude that, as individual personalities, we do not “make” our decisions.

This is compelling grist for thinkers investigating whether we are “the doer of our deeds.”

In the final analysis, this type of work is primarily helpful as a tool to destabilize our belief systems and, hopefully, detach us , allowing us to turn directly inward.
