The Ease of Being
28
 
 
The Ease of BeingJean Klein, a musicologist and doctor from Central Europe, spent his early years inquiring about the essence of life. He had the inner conviction that there was a 'principle' independent of all society and felt the urge to explore this conviction. His explorations led him to India where he was introduced through a 'direct approach' to the non-mental dimension of life.

This book teaches simple effective ways to view life from the heart, instead of just the head. All there is, is Consciousness. We are not the body. We are not the mind. The body and mind appear and disappear in our awareness. When we awaken in the morning, it is our body that awakens for Consciousness, what we
really are, never sleeps. We can learn to live from the heart.
