This is a profound and radical work that points to the fundamental freedom that is independent of path, process, effort, or belief. In these pages, the reader is taken on a journey - one that clearly reveals that there is nothing to become, nor any specific goal to attain. Rather, what is shown is how a deep-rooted misperception of our true identity has caused us to live in 'apparent' pain and fear.Tony Parsons is an esteemed teacher who regularly shares this 'open secret' of spiritual awakening with people throughout the world. His straightforward and highly effective message of awakening to life "as it is", is delivered with an impersonal authority that emanates from absolute clarity.
Through the direct perception of "what is, as it is", Tony Parsons offers the reader a very practical and accessible approach to authentic spiritual realisation. His invitation is to live life from a wholly different perspective - one centred in the infinite awareness of one's true Self.

About the author:
Tony Parsons was born in London 1933. At the age of twenty, he spontaneously awoke to the rediscovery of his true nature. Throughout the years, he shared this "open secret" with like-minded friends. Only since 1996, when Tony began to communicate from the nature of his experience through writings, did people from all over the world begin to deeply resonate with the message he shares.
Tony brings a deep maturity and a lifetime of spiritual understanding to his talks and published works. The clarity and completely natural manner in which he writes and speaks about living in the unlimited awareness of Presence is refreshingly authentic.
