New Video: in November Richard gave a workshop in Dorset, England, organized by 'Non-Duality Dorset'. Here's a video clip of the workshop - click on the first picture (of Richard holding the card!)

We continue to explore sharing Seeing in different ways. One of the ways is through skype meetings - informal meetings of people who value this way of Seeing. If you are interested (and have done at least one experiment, so that you know what it's about) get in touch with Richard.

New website look! (You're looking at it!) Thanks Sam & Navi!

New Poetry Book
I've uploaded a new video on Face to No-Face Films, of Colin Oliver reading his poetry and talking about writing poetry from this Clarity. His latest book of poetry, 'Saying Goodnight' - very beautiful poetry from a headless seer - is available in our bookshop. Colin has been writing poetry as a seer for more than 40 years.

The Hierarchy of Heaven and Earth - eBook
When Douglas Harding completed the large book The Hierarchy of Heaven and Earth, he didn't think it would be published in that huge format, so he then wrote a condensed version. This is the version that was first published in 1952, and which C. S. Lewis read and wrote the preface for. We have now published this book as an eBook.

Interview with Colin & Carole Oliver is now on youtube with Slovenian subtitles. Thanks, Miha!

AUGUST 2011

The Hierarchy of Heaven and Earth - digital edition of original manuscript.
The original version of The Hierarchy of Heaven and Earth (A New Diagram of Man in the Universe) by Douglas Harding is now available in our bookshop as a downloadable file.

I will speak from my heart about this book. This book is the book I would take with me to a desert island if I were allowed only one book.

It is, so to speak, a modern Bible of who we really are. Most people don’t read the whole of the Bible (or the Koran, or On The Origin of Species, I suppose...) but are nevertheless profoundly influenced by such books. I believe The Hierarchy is of the same order. And (like Darwin’s masterpiece) it is a book that is independent of local culture or religion. It is a book for the modern planet.

Douglas Harding spent at least eight years writing this book (in the 1940s) - more or less fourteen hours a day, seven days a week. He saw who he really was and then thought, felt and wrote deeply, consistently, cooly, passionately, about what he had found - how it made sense and what it meant for the world.

C.S. Lewis called The Hierarchy “a work of the highest genius”. I fully agree. Lewis only read the condensed version but he declared that it left him “roaring drunk”. I’ve read both the condensed version and this huge original version (many times) and I am like Lewis. I am drunk with its genius.

I believe the publication of this book in digital form is the equivalent of the moment when the Bible was made available to a wide audience with the invention of the printing press. Now anyone with £20 to spend can dip into, and perhaps even read the whole of!, this phenomenal book. Douglas took years to produce this one book (plus one copy). He finished it in 1950. In 1998 the Shollond Trust (with Crowquill) produced 300 copies. Thanks to the generous work of many volunteers, lovingly managed by my friend Navi Blight (supported by her husband Sam) the Shollond Trust can now from August 2011 offer this book to as many people as click the button on our website. Thank you friends, thank you Navi and Sam, thank you Douglas. It is a great achievement.

Douglas once said that although the universe is often a tragic and terrible place, even so, a universe that produces the music of Mozart is a wonderful universe, a beautiful universe. I say, a universe that produces The Hierarchy of Heaven and Earth is, in spite of all the terror and tragedy in the world, a wonderful, beautiful universe.

Best wishes,
Richard Lang

3/12/07. Toolkit for Discovering Who You Are available via bookshop.

After Douglas Harding died in January of this year, I helped his wife, Catherine, sort out his books. We found a number of 'yellow toolkits', also known as the 'Toolkit for Discovering Who You Really Are'. These were designed by Douglas and produced in the mid '70s by EST, an organization that set up several large workshops, mainly in the States, at which Douglas presented Seeing. In Denver, apparently, there were about 2000 people at the workshop. (If you were present at any of these workshops, I would be interested to hear from you about your experience.) Each participant received one of these toolkits. I have a small pile of these toolkits, and so this limited number is now available in the bookshop at £5.00 each, plus mailing costs. There is a bit more information about them in the bookshop.

30/11/07. Newly designed website goes online.
