New Book Announcement

**New Book Announcement | Homecoming: Living Innate Wholeness in a Fragmented World **

A profound dialogue pointing to ultimate stability is about to begin.

Dear Reader,

If On No Mind points the direction “home,” then this forthcoming work is an invitation to walk into every room of that “home,” to see through all self-decorated furnishings, until you are sitting in the most natural living room, unmoving as such.

The new book's working title is Homecoming: Living Innate Wholeness in a Fragmented World. It is not a sequel to On No Mind, but a natural deepening and concrete manifestation of its core insights across broader dimensions of life.

If On No Mind focuses on deconstructing illusion—systematically dissolving the illusions of self and world fabricated by “Mind at Work”—then the new book will focus more on manifesting truth: how that innate awareness, once illusions disperse, lives out its unshakable perfection and power within the intricacies of a human life.

In the new book, we will explore together:

  • The Ultimate Silence in Relationship: Moving beyond the dualistic stories of “intimacy” and “loneliness,” to inquire into a love that is self-sufficient—needing no external confirmation nor fearing any loss.

  • The Energetic Essence of Wealth: Moving past “the law of attraction” to reveal how you are yourself the source of abundance, allowing wealth to flow as naturally as breath.

  • The Mystery at the Source of Creation: When the identity of the “creator” falls away, where does inspiration come from? We will delve into the mystery of pure emergence, deeper than “flow.”

  • Penetrating Insight into Suffering: Pain, loss, and impermanence are no longer “problems” to be healed, but the most precious fuel for seeing truth and tempering No Mind.

  • The Sacred Ritual of the Everyday: Bringing the “practice of no-practice” from On No Mind fully to earth, showing how every step from morning awakening to night rest is a step on the path home.

The new book will employ a richer dialogue format and situational analysis, directly addressing the most acute existential anxieties and spiritual dilemmas of our time. Its language will remain, as always, sharp, clear, and direct, aiming to provide not temporary solace but foundational stability.

This is not another book about how to become better.
This is an invitation to discover that you are already whole, and to live from that wholeness.

We are on the final path of revision and refinement. Please stay tuned.
May we meet again in truth.
