Path Without Form: A Journey Into The Realm Beyond Thought

Book Summary

In Path Without Form, Dr. Robert Powell invites the reader to accompany him on his own adventures in self-exploration-a journey that spanned several decades and eventually led him to the ultimate teaching of the non-dual nature of reality. "The ultimate teaching is the seeing of the entire world in not even a grain of sand, but a single point-and a point that is dimensionless. That mystical ‘point' then serves as the entry into an entirely new dimension-the world of the truly spiritual... However, for the individual embracing this ultimate teaching, the vision of the non-duality of reality does not mean that he has arrived. On the contrary, it is a mere beginning and the understanding has to be constantly tested in life's experience, so that each moment is a new reality. This process of learning, from moment to moment, is a never-ending movement. But without that vision of the wholeness of things, nothing is of avail; we cannot begin to travel on the spiritual path..." -Robert Powell About the Author Robert Powell was born in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, in 1918. After obtaining his doctorate in chemistry from London University, he pursued a career first as an industrial chemist and later as a science writer and editor in Britain and the United States. Robert Powell's personal exploration of spirituality began in the 1960s, and his quest for self-discovery led him to Zen and a number of spiritual masters including J. Krishnamurti and Ramana Maharshi. His own spiritual awakening coincided with his discovery of the teachings of Nisargadatta Maharaj. He is the editor of a Nisargadatta trilogy, and the author of a number of books on what he describes as "human consciousness transformation." Powell now lives a busy life in La Jolla, California, with his loving wife, Gina.
