At the age of sixteen, Stephen Jourdain experienced a radical awakening while contemplating (in the manner of a Zen koan) the famous Descartes statement "I think, therefore I am." As a result of this fundamental change in perception -- and at that very moment -- the essential basis of Jourdain's identity collapsed once and for all, as he realised the truth of what all of us essentially are: the fundamental "I" principle, or Consciousness. This is a collection of extraordinary dialogues between Jourdain and the well-known writer, Gilles Farcet. These spirited talks -- provocative and highly original -- offer the reader an exceptional vantage point into the nature of authentic spiritual awakening and its embodiment. Jourdain lives the gift of awakening in the most ordinary manner, clearly articulating both the reality and the myth of enlightenment through deep understanding and piercing discernment. His passionate call to awaken to our true nature is delivered in a completely original manner, with the spontaneity of a child and the deep insight of one who lives in a state of natural freedom. The author of over twelve books, Jourdain is highly respected throughout Europe. Now in his late sixties, he lives in the French countryside, where he informally meets with people from all over the world.
