The Bliss of Ignorance
Genre: Kindle Edition
Author: Jonathan X Turner
Price: £0.00
It’s rare to find a book that is so shocking in its revelation and yet so consoling at the same time.
Turner takes us on a trip of discovery as he revisits the line of reasoning that brought him to a recognition of his basic ignorance. He describes in methodical detail how he came to realize that he simply had no idea what he was. In doing so, he challenges our most fundamental ideas about ourselves and reveals our inability to attain any certainty in our search for absolute truth.
The author goes on to describe the blissful life of one who no longer has any delusions about what they know and explains how much simpler and more joyful life suddenly becomes when the obsessive search for truth is abandoned.
This is not a book of worthy but tedious ramblings about abstract philosophical ideas with no connection to everyday life. It is the expression of a radical viewpoint that pushes us towards a transformation in the way that we view our very being and the apparent lives that we live.
If this compelling book fails to shock and intoxicate the reader, it is most likely because its implications have not been fully understood. This work has the potential to overthrow a lifetime of conditioning, to liberate the mind from its shackles and to point the way towards the end of suffering.
