Nathan Gill is quite simply the most consistant, non wavering, "never steps on his own toes" author one could find on this subject. He never gets off track. It seems as if most other authors on this subject tell us that "There is nothing you can do to "attain" this state, but just do this or do that and you might make it" or they tell is that even though there is "no one home", we torpedo "ourselves" by seeking. That sounds non sequitor to me. I digress. Nathan is clear and relatively easy to understand. "if you understand the subject at all"
The end of the line

If you've really had enough of seeking, this is the book for you. With precision and clarity Nathan Gill devalues the whole business of liberation, awakening, enlightenment, to reveal simply what is. If there's a 'me' around, that's OK. If there's not a 'me' around, that's OK too. It's not necessarily blissful, it's not necessarily pleasant - but what a relief.
Being is already the case

Being is a great word. Awareness and oneness (also good words) have more of a thing-ness about them, but being evokes BE-ing, alive-ness. This book is about the expression of being, of THIS alive-ness that is already the case. 'Being: the bottom line' is comprised of one to one dialogues (forty) compiled from meetings and correspondence. Nathan's approach is earthy, direct and precise; free from jargon and posturing. Throughout the book Nathan demonstrates that he is well equipped (and unafraid) to tackle some of the deeper and more complex themes that arise - but always with a lightness of touch and an ability to cut through any temptation towards metaphysical meandering. It's these factors of directness and depth (an approach which Nathan shares with his colleague, Leo Hartong) which help to give the book it's authentic and timeless quality.
