Invitation to Awaken

Invitation to Awaken: Embracing Our Natural State of Presence

by Tony Parsons

Inner Directions, Carlsbad, California, 2004. 131 pp.

This book offers spiritual teachings from the perspective of absolute nondualism. The author is a contemporary Western teacher from the UK, and the content is based on recordings of his talks and Q&A sessions with retreat attendees on four different occasions. His description of the Absolute Nature of Reality permeates his teachings, and his descriptions of such are clear, consistent and occasionally interlaced with humor.

Tony Parsons' teachings are considered radical in some circles, in that he doesn't strongly promote traditional practices like meditation or prayer.  However, his is a timeless simple message -- that we already are what we seek.
