The Clothes Have No Emperor: Conversations, The Art of No-Self

Talk of spiritual "awakening" is growing ever more popular these days. Ever wonder what it takes to actually become a Buddha yourself? This one-year correspondence between two self-described "friends of Truth" will undoubtedly serve you well if this kind of pursuit interests you. The Clothes Have No Emperor is a pragmatic, no-nonsense, approach to spirituality which provides a fascinating glimpse into the waking up process. Distilled down to its essence, the path this book illuminates is the difference between what you think and what you are. The authors generously provide readers the opportunity to be privy to their private correspondence, which often evokes a feeling akin to stumbling across a sign marker in the wilderness. For a lost spiritual seeker, abiding non-dual awareness marks the "way home." The authors, DJ and David, eschew transitory, state bound, pleasurable, transcendent mystical experience in favour of the real McCoy - waking up. Attention is placed squarely on the impersonal, unchanging Self certain Hindus allude to, the non-self/no-mind some Buddhist traditions stress, or the unified Christ consciousness Christian mystics speak of. Clarity and awareness are paramount. Discover how the ego creates unhappiness in your life. The call to awaken beckons. The authors assure you wholeness, joy and peace await

About the Author
DJ at one time or another was a University graduate, English teacher, farmer, Dad, correctional officer, film maker, adventurer, and martial artist. A reformed armchair mystic, he set out to discover, through direct experience, what the heck was really going on. Eventually the stillness of no-self prevailed. He presently dwells in beautiful B.C. Canada where he does little of anything at all. At age twenty-one David's spiritual journey began when a co-member of the Canadian ski team handed him a book by J. Krishnamurti. A strong interest in the teachings and a love for the sense of open, sensitive awareness led to a sustained study of further Krishnamurti material. Others such as Osho, Barry Long, Douglas Harding, Adyashanti, Nirmala, Rupert Spira, Mooji as well as the inquiry method of Enlightenment Intensives were also found to be inspirational. David has been involved with a Krishnamurti School since 1978, first as an English teacher and later (until present day) with facilitating various events there.
