First sentence: THE more I wander around this turning globe the more I realize that it is not only individual men, parties, governments or peoples who are to blame for the distressful condition of the human race—so mesmerized by popular follies and so deluded by traditional fables!—but also common ignorance concerning three fundamental questions: What is the meaning of the world and experience? What am I?  What is the object of existence?
Description: Everyone has this illusion: that the world is "out there" and you are somewhere "inside" and somehow knowledge of an external world is reflected in our mind.  Here  Brunton takes us step by step in dismantling the common view of experience, and turns experience inside out.  He shows step by step how there is no outside, there is no basis for the belief in matter, and that all we experiences are contents of mind-- all experience including space and time is in and for and to mind.  This will change your relation to the world.   In the second and companion volume, The Wisdom of the Overself, Brunton explores the nature of the Mind to which the world and ego appear.
Notes: Includes index.
