Product Description
An intimate account of spontaneous spiritual enlightenment and its implications in a life lived beyond the individual self, Perfect Brilliant Stillness is a guidebook for the more advanced spiritual seeker who is ready to go beyond popular ‘new age’ ideas to explore in depth the perennial wisdom of the non-dual tradition of Eastern spirituality. Perfect Brilliant Stillness offers an invitation to finally let go of the false sense of individual self and to go, completed, beyond.

 real. no sales pitch manipulation here
david carse lays the bones bare. No hype, pretense, effort to "win one over" LOVE THIS BOOK! Finally some straight talk about "enligtenment", the money making business it has become, and all the balony that can go with gurus and seekers....David even discourages one to read his book, he is that actual. He sais most will not like it...well, all i can say is i Loved this raw truth.Of all the books i've read,he echos my sentiments. David's a beautiful writer, and this is an Excellent read...if you're really ready to drop the pretending and having awakening fit your ideals...(as there is no such possibility, except as another concept the mind creates to give you a sense of "getting it.")Absolutely refreshing breath of fresh air ...SO grateful to to truth Finally be spoken to. namaste, laura prefontaine

Throw this book in the Advaita Stew and serve it generously it's a great read.
This is a very skillful account on the subject of Advaita by the entity david as he describes himself. He is an excellent story teller with a very engaging approach to this subject. I note several negative feedbacks regarding this book which I found a bit odd. Firstly, awakening is not boring it is in fact the contrary and generally it is from illusion of ego that one arrives at such a comment. Secondly, as far as the writer appearing contradictory and dry at times, that is certainly within the nature of Advaita, it arises between that space of duality or it could also be said that it does not. So where can you go with that ? It is ambiguous topic once it is set loose in the illusionary mind. It is not for the squeamish particularly troubled by conundrums. Thirdly, this book may not exactly have all the elements of the Diamond in your Pocket but it most certainly has its own generous nuggets of gold which makes it quite a formidable read. I would be inclined to serve this to someone who has never read Advaita. This is a very clearly written book on a very paradoxical topic. For those who have already read a number of books on this topic add this book your collection as well. It may just very well surprise you whilst you're pondering enlightenment. And for the more critical and astute readers your quite right, you don't ponder enlightenment. "

From the first, not one thing is ( pcallanan )
This is not Feel-Good Spirituality.
The author opens with, "There are many books out there that will help you live a better life, become a better person, and evolve and grow to realize your full potential as a human being. This is not one of them."
Then he quotes Wei Wu Wei, "The essential Understanding is that in reality, nothing is. This is so obvious that it is not perceived."
If that statement doesn't convince you that you're about to read the ravings of a madman, buy the book, because any props you have left to hold up the illusory structure of an illusory ego are about to get knocked out from under you.

 volumes and volumes
"It seems a shame there have to be so many words...volumes and volumes...so much verbosity"..but is this true? does there really have to be so much said about the Great Silence? There is some useful stuff in here...and alot of stuff that is better gotten directly from the source..and I wonder, really, just how many times the 60's "outlaw" personna (the rugged carpenter, the macho bearded woodsman, the part-Native American, the uneducated innocent, the one who doesn't know anything about the spiritual marketplace, even though he went through training to become a priest and appears to be incredibly well-read and articulate) needs to be snuck in there beneath the "david entity"? There is this Advaita thing going on now...."present yourself" as "something" (especially, in the USA, as an "anti-authority" figure, something that is part of the American Romantic "outlaw" tradition ) at the same time you say, "I am nothing much". I'm looking forward to that very short volume of living out the awakening experience as written by an old woman working as a checker at Home Depot.

excellent ( nelsonvickie )
if this illusory world is just a dream and i dream because i want to sleep, then what is waking up???? and what will i wake up to? this illusory book gives some peaceful thought and non dualistic thought to "well if it is not this, then what is it?" absolutely nothing, never was, never happened, the world was over long ago and this me that i think i am is part of what was over long ago.......thank you david carse for writing one great illusory book on nothingness. V.
