Through his blog, Rodney Stevens has attracted readers and spiritual seekers from across the globe. Now, in A Vastness All Around: Awakening to Your Natural State, he gathers essays, dialogues, and interviews that point to our natural and immediate state.
This state requires no methods, meditation, or concentration to discover. It is a simple seeing and understanding of who and what we truly are--boundless peace and freedom.
The theme of these powerful essays, conversations, and pointers is absolute nonduality, which is an ancient and nonsectarian teaching that points to our oneness with all existence.
From the Preface by John Wheeler:
"Rodney's book is a welcome addition to the contemporary expressions of the non-dual message. His words are a clear, warm and spontaneous expression of his own direct understanding and experience. As is evidenced in the dialogues in the book, he has a gift for connecting with people and establishing a "rapport" with those who seek his insights. In this living communication, the pointers naturally arise and are effortlessly shared. The result is that the words strike home very directly and consistently in a manner that allows the engaged reader to follow the pointers to their source and experience the meaning first hand. Rodney has an appreciation for the diverse ways that the non-dual message has been communicated by both traditional and contemporary sources. To this he adds his own unique voice, which is at once direct, clear, gentle, confident and heartfelt."
