Oneness by John Greven (Non Duality Press)

I highly recommend this book for those paradoxically seeking the end of seeking. What stunned me most about this book was not the clarity and directness of the pointers, which are unmistakable, but rather the humility that wrote it.

This book is never preachy. There is never the sense that it is “telling” you anything, for example, that you have no choice, or that it’s all One, or that you are not a separate self. There is no fundamentalism in this book. It invites you to have a look for yourself.

John never gets lost in the dogma of nonduality, trying to convince everyone that he is nonexistent or that he is not a teacher. He doesn’t have to say those things. His absence is felt in the words and the space in which they appear. In his absence is love and humility. I judge good nondual teachings these days, not just by the clarity of the language, but more by the humility of the author. Humility and love are naturally left when the separate self sense is seen through.

Probably the most beautiful thing about this book [to me] is the way it deconstructs its own teaching. It invites you to see that your concepts are false, but it doesn’t just replace those with new concepts. So “Oneness” and “awareness” do not feel like new ideas to buy into. When a teaching deconstructs even its own words, like this, it leaves you with nothing. That nothing is appearing as everything. Love is meeting itself everywhere. Thanks John!
