About Too Intimate For Words
Product Description In the dedication to this book, John Astin writes: "These words and concepts are dedicated to the Divine Mystery that cannot be spoken of, but is the source of every utterance." The great spiritual teacher Ramana Maharshi once remarked that just as one may use a thorn to remove another thorn from his hand, so too can we use concepts and words to point us beyond them. This is the spirit and essence of "Too Intimate for Words," a book of poetry and prose that invites readers to remember what in truth has never really been forgotten. As John writes in one passage: “Wake up! You are the Beloved feasting on Itself, the wave remembering that it has always been water.” About this book, best-selling author and spiritual teacher, Joan Borysenko writes: “John Astin is a modern-day Rumi. His words are a window to the Absolute, a transmission of wisdom carrying the presence, joy, and clarity of an authentic teacher.” About the Author John Astin, PhD, is something of a modern-day Renaissance man – singer, songwriter, psychologist, poet, scientist, and spiritual teacher. For the past 25 years, through his music, his scholarly research, and his teaching work with individuals and groups, John has been actively studying and applying contemplative spiritual practices to promote human health and well-being and transform human consciousness. He is a research scientist at California Pacific Medical Center in San Francisco and a lecturer at the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology and Santa Clara University. He has produced five recordings of original contemplative music that are distributed worldwide and is the author of "Control Therapy: An Integrated Approach to Psychotherapy, Health & Healing."
