The Silence of the Mind
Fred Davis, Awakening Clarity     "Let  me start this review by saying the same thing everyone else has said  about this book who's had a good look at it: it's excellent. The depth  of seeing that the author had was tremendous. One of the problems in  Nonduality today is that the language has become so common that it fails  to surprise or shock us into hearing what is really being said. It's  not so easy to bypass the truth with these poems. It's the opportunity  to really HEAR something ancient in a fresh way."Peter Sumner, The Seer     "When  I look back over 2011, I feel that one of the most significant things  to happen in my spiritual journey has been the ‘discovery’ of a newly  published little book by the awakened Romanian mystic, Ilie Cioara. I am  deeply moved as I read and re-read it and have the strong impression  that Cioara’s writings are going to have the same kind of impact as  Nisargadatta Maharaj’s spiritual classic, I Am That."Lee Petersen, Azle, Texas, USA       "I have read, re-read & will continue to read this wonderful, heart felt practical guide to deep meditation.       I have found that simply through reading a few of the excerpts you are able to experience the silence of your mind. Great Book !!!"Alan Jacobs, Poet, Writer and President of the Ramana Maharshi Foundation UK            "Having  studied Ilie Cioara's inspired book, I am quite convinced that  if its  wonderfully wise contents are read diligently, and its  prescribed  practise is persistenly followed, then it will gradually and  gracefully  lead the fortunate reader to his or her own Self  Realisation."Pat Cummings, Transcendental Meditation       "Thank you, this brings new light to what Maharishi says about the point and the gap between thoughts... just beautiful."Dharshan Naran, Advaita Vedanta       "Beautiful and breath taking...."Agnes Napenas, Healing Connections      "Beauty-FULL! What a marvellous vision!  Gratitude to you for sharing!"Dee Michaels, Conversations with God, Neale Donald Walsch group            "I love this. It states what many have said and I am coming to  realize. Being in the oneness one needs no thoughts. This is truly   inspiring to me."Jerry Katz, Nonduality.com    "For its poetry, prose, its introduction and biographical section, this is as beautiful, powerful, and clear a nonduality book as has ever been written."Tami Brady, TCM Reviews   "Reading  about self-knowing is often educational and inspirational. However,  when expressed in the form of poetry, there is a depth of feeling that  you cannot get through instruction alone. It is a feeling that resonates  deep within."
