Description
The author of
Being One presents "a persuasive argument for stopping the perennial search for enlightenment" in this unique guide to finding inner peace (
New Age Journal).
Steve Harrison spent decades seeking out every mystic, seer, and magician he could find throughout the world. He studied the worlds philosophies and religions, and dedicated himself to various forms of austerity, isolation, and meditation before coming to a truly profound conclusion: it was all useless.
In Doing Nothing, Steve encourages spiritual seekers to find the truths of life through the simple act of stopping the search. As he puts it, "nothing is a surprisingly active place, but it is here that we discover who and what we are."
