A combined and fully revised edition of Jeff Foster's first two books Life Without a Centre and Beyond Awakening.

What if life is infinitely simpler than you ever imagined?

We spend our lives seeking wealth, success, love, fulfilment, and even "spiritual enlightenment" in the future. Yet right at the heart of life there is an intimacy, a simplicity, a wholeness that is totally beyond words—and which cannot be reached through any kind of effort. In our attempts to change, to improve ourselves, or become "enlightened," we end up ignoring this wordless intimacy which is our birthright and our true home.

The Wonder of Being points to the eternal freedom which exists beyond the seeker and the sought, and shows us the hidden assumptions that underlie our seeking activities. With great humour, compassion and clarity, Jeff Foster reminds us of something we have always known—that life, as it is, is a miracle... and beyond our thoughts, we are already free.

“Listen to your life. See it for te fatomless mystery tat it is. In te boredom and pain of it no less tan in te excitement and gladness: touc, taste, smell your way to te oly and idden eart of it because in te last analysis all moments are key moments, and life itself is grace.”

- Frederick Buecner

“Wen you realise ow perfect everyting is you will tilt your ead back and laug at te sky.”

AUTHOR’S NOTE

am not ere to teac you ow to become an awakened I or enligtened person, ow to ave spiritual experiences or enter spiritual states. All states and experiences, even te most blissful ones, come and go. hey may be beautiful, and very pleasurable, but tey are time-bound, and so tey come and go.

his book is about tat wic does not come and go. It points to a possibility tat goesbeyondattempts to awaken, your your searc for enligtenment, and your experiences of states of bliss, peace, joy, silence, and so on; a possibility tat goes rigt to te core of wo you really are, beyond wo you tink you are. It points to te wordless essence beyond te passing forms of tis world, an essence wic, in te ﬁnal analysis, is not separate from te forms tat appear. his is wat I feel is te true meaning of te word ‘nonduality’.

It takes no time to be wat you already are, but itappearsto take time to recognise wat you are not. As long as words are needed, tis book meets you in your dream of individu-ality, to remind you of someting tat you’ve always known.

And wen words are no longer needed, well, tat’s wen te adventure really begins.

Wit love from yourself,

Jeﬀ Foster Brigton, England, Marc 2010
