Stillness in the Roar of Experience: A Philosophical Memoir

William W. Chan

4.9/5 (18261 ratings)

Description:In 329 short passages, he questions our ability to understand reality. He believes all magical thinking about immortality and God pales against the harsh human condition. He invites the readers to explore the fabric of reality. “Must we fully understand our reality,” he asks, “or is it more meaningful to learn to navigate it?”Kirkus Reviews calls it “a hypnotic collection of crystalline thoughts on the nature of living.The author wonders about the nature of our memory: “How can things that happened long ago appear radiant and luminous in memory? Could it be that even as we revel in the present, what happened in the ‘past’ continued to ‘exist’ somewhere in consciousness, similar to how the center was everywhere in a conscious universe?”On oneness: “We dream of oneness or union with the universe. We sing praises to our respective gods for this union. We hope to find a way to unite subjectivity and objectivity. But there is no need to dream, hope, or even pray. Oneness is already achieved. It is naturally built into our perception.”On acceptance: “The acceptance here is a reversal of our habitual beliefs. It is reverting to our fundamental nature of awareness. It is a mind-expanding gift that can burn our hands and be the balm for those hands.”On stillness: “Needless to say, the greatest barrier is one’s own mind. One must keep breathing, pray with face in ashes, or live with courage and sincerity. The stillness bred in your bone and riding on your breath will take care of the rest.”On breathing: “As you go through your day, and if you pay attention to your breathing, you can see that air goes in and out of you like you are nothing. You are not who you think you are. You are your own escape valve. Finally, when you die, you realize you are not slipping away. You are sailing forth.”We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
