Publisher's Summary
'Reason and imagination and all mental chatter died down... I forgot my name, my humanness, my thingness, all that could be called me or mine. Past and future dropped away... Lighter than air, clearer than glass, altogether released from myself, I was nowhere around.' Thus Douglas Harding describes his first experience of headlessness, or no self. First published in 1961, this is a classic work which conveys the experience that mystics of all times have tried to put words to.

Approach this experience honestly, w an open mind.
If you approach this experience honestly and with an open "mind", this will bring you right where you need to go.
I didn't believed what just happened at first. I thought it was a fluke, constructed in my mind if you will, but then Mr. Harding brought me right back there via scientific explication (pathway) and it worked.
In all honesty, be humble with what you find. it's difficult to process what just happened, especially if your ego is lurking.
Also, remember, you can't unlearn what you've learned. Once this pathway is open, it becomes easier and easier to revisit it. It's not easy, but so so worth it.
I ended my travels with a uncontrollable smile and relief. Enjoy!

Great story, narrator difficult to listen to
Love the work of Douglas Harding and the philosophy he teaches through observing the world as though you are the world. But for the life of me I don't know why they chose to go with this narrator. He has this grating whistle to his voice when he pronounces anything with an "S" sound to it. Still worth a listen given how short it is and how valuable I found the information to be, but Christ, please do a quality check of the narrator before you give it a go. It became difficult for me to listen to in long bursts.

Compelling, but needlessy religious & pithy
Richard Lang is an excellent reader, and a great secular teacher of the headless way - if you're looking for a better source for this interesting perspective, look his own work up.
Although the Headless Way was created by Douglas Harding, I think this, his book on it, is needlessly religious - spending more time discussing the implications of god and creation than actually discussing the insights or implications of the first person perspective.

Too poetic
Nothing against it but I prefer simplicity when taking about these profound topics such as the selflessness. The author writes in a very poetic way and really prolongs every point that he makes with abundant words and complex vocabulary.
