When I first saw the book, The Unbranded Self, I was immediately intrigued. Who publishes a book with nothing on the cover?
But as I dived into the book, curious to see what it was all about, I actually laughed out loud. "This is brilliant!" I said to my wife. Right off the top, this guy is declaring, "This is not a book!"
And then I realized that it was true. The Unbranded Self is much more than a book It's a meditation . . . a thought experiment . . . an invitation to powerful insights wonderfully instigated by simple statements in the book . . . but revealed by one's own heart.
With something this unique it is hard to find the right words to describe it, but as someone who has led transformational workshops for over two decades, I found this book to be an ingeniously designed workshop.
So please, buy it, I'm excited for you to do so. And then . . . take it slowly, let its questions and phrases slowly provoke your soul to reveal to you the wonder that you are.
And, as you encounter the brilliantly placed blank pages throughout the book, listen past your ego and tune into your inner sage that loves those blank pages as much or more than the written pages because they create room for you to ponder, ruminate, and discover.
The Unbranded Self is not a book. It is a very personal Sacred Journey.
As the non-author keeps asserting (and she/he/it is absolutely right) - this is not a book.
In a book, we ride inside a vehicle that we don’t steer, watching and absorbing the sights as they pass by - contiguously, uninterruptedly. “Leave the driving to us."
In the context of this non-authored non-book, I am not just along for the ride. There is steering I need to do, backwards and forwards, from landmark to landmark.
Sometimes there is a monument that goes by just too quickly and I want to steer back for another look, another pass around it.
Between landmarks, of course, come blank stretches of highway. Boring, perhaps? Something to just be endured, until the next object of interest heaves into sight?
Time to reach for the coffee or the sugar or the pills just to stay awake?
No, not in this non-book. Here the real action is in all those non-branded, non-illustrated blank pages. Those blank stretches of highway between landmarks in which - if I'm able to travel them with somewhat steady awareness - I observe my self reflected back to me.
I realise that, really, all the landmarks ever did was to remind me of things (at times, quite noble things) that in fact I already knew.
Wow. WOW…
I really enjoyed reading this.
Which is to say, I really enjoyed experiencing myself, for once...
Reading this is an act of meditation.
Writing it was an act of wisdom, love and courage.
And for that, I thank you.
Instead, I set my iCal to read this (and in doing so meditate on myself, enjoying the process of enjoying myself) once a week.
Seriously.
Maybe that’s weird. So am I. Guilty as charged. :)
As I’m sure you already know, this act of meditation dovetails nicely with such titles as “The Untethered Soul,” “The Power of Now,” and “The Four Agreements.”
But they’re all books. This is an experience.
BIG difference.
I want to share this.
I want everyone I know (and don't know) to experience this.
That's how unique an this experience this is.
Try it. You may like it. Maybe even love it.
You may want to repeat it every day.
I do.
I'm not even sure what "this" is.
