Seeker Steven Harrison discovered that nothing is grand. He'd traveled the world, made a fortune creating and selling a successful investment company, and established a commune in Santa Rosa. He'd done it all. But nothing he did relieved the emptiness he'd spent his life desperately attempting to fill. So, having chalked his 25 years of spiritual experience to, well, experience, he made the decision to simply do nothing.
Nothing is a tricky concept to describe.
What Harrison apparently found was that by letting go of every conscious attempt to grasp fulfillment, by taking the focus off himself and his spiritual pain, the terrible emptiness had somehow ceased to be the center of his life. Since he did nothing to arrive at this conclusion, Harrison is careful not to let it be like some process that he followed. Back to being stuck. It was extremely hot. I couldn' t leave, and the streets were empty because of the heat.
