An Extraordinary Absence: Liberation in the Midst of a Very Ordinary Life

April 15, 2012

Book review

Written with stunning clarity and aliveness, this book is a love letter to the exhausted spiritual seeker who is simply longing to come home.

by Jeff Foster

If you think that liberation is a special state reserved only for enlightened masters and gurus, then think again.

Foster invites you to forget everything you know, everything you have been taught, everything you have ever read about spiritual awakening, oneness, enlightenment, nonduality and advaita, and to consider a new possibility: the possibility of absolute freedom, right now, right here in the midst of this very ordinary life.

Using everyday language and drawing on both personal experience and age-old wisdom, he shares the possibility that all the seeking and longing of the mind can come to an absolute end with the falling away of the sense of being a separate individual, and a plunge into unconditional love. And in that plunge — which is beyond anything you have ever imagined — this so-called ordinary life reveals its great secret.

Written with stunning clarity and aliveness, this book is a love letter to the exhausted spiritual seeker who is simply longing to come home.
