This beautiful small book contains quotations by Jean Klein addressing a wide range of subjects and questions. The quotations have been selected from the ten published volumes of his teachings by Billy Doyle, a noted teacher of Kashmiri Yoga and long-time student of Dr. Klein.
Jean Klein was a pioneering Western teacher of Advaita whose influence, via distinguished students of his work, is still strongly felt in our own time. His teaching belongs to the direct approach which points straight to our real nature… to what is beyond the mind, to inner stillness and peace, … to being what we fundamentally are.
The book features an Introduction by Emma Edwards, the original compiler and editor of Dr. Klein’s published works.

Discover the path to your authentic self and embrace your true identity with these insightful teachings from celebrated author and spiritual luminary Alan Watts.
In this collection, Watts displays the intelligence, playfulness of thought, and simplicity of language that has made him so perennially popular as an interpreter of Eastern thought for Westerners. He draws on a variety of religious traditions and covers topics such as the challenge of seeing one’s life “just as it is,” the Taoist approach to harmonious living, the limits of language in the face of ineffable spiritual truth, and the psychological symbolism of Christian thought. Throughout, he shows how our true self is never to be found anywhere other than this very life and this very moment.
