During humanity's quest for the eternal truth, a revolutionary and radical message emerges from time to time throughout the ages, completely changing our perception of what it means to be alive.

This event is happening again among us now, but it will only be perceived by a few. This vital and essential message is readily available. Its brilliant simplicity sheds light on everything that has come before. Its essence is intertwined with the highest verses of every sacred scripture, yet it is obscured by the theories of the mind... and yet its unlimited and vibrant potential removes any attachment to tradition, lineage, and hierarchy.

Everything else today that claims to be a "spiritual teaching" certainly does not stem from this understanding. Even the recent rich collection of so-called "Advaita" and "non-dual" teachings merely compromises with the seeker. They teeter on the brink of eternity seeking a way to penetrate.

This message stands undeniably unique and distinct, wherever and whenever it is made known. When it is truly heard, the fundamental and uncompromising difference is inherently recognized. Here then among us lies the treasure, ready to be discovered again. Here is the cup ready for us to drink.

Yet at the moment of rediscovery, we lose the search, we lose the dream, we lose every hope of being ourselves, and what remains is the invaluable freedom!

(Richard Harris, New England) [Excerpt from the text on the back cover of the edition]
