INTRODUCTION
In
THE TEXTURE OF BEING, the author explores, in a non-intellectual way,
the true nature of reality - suggesting that a closer contact with that
reality can be found through 'feeling' rather than thinking. The mind
and emotions usually get in the way of clear seeing, creating
difficulties in our lives. When we stand back and view ourselves and the
world we inhabit from an impersonal perspective, all is revealed.
With over 30
years experience with the non-dualistic (Advaita)
tradition, the author offers a practical approach to living this
teaching. Those who are familiar with the works of Ramana Maharshi,
Nisargadatta Maharaj, Poonjaji and Jean Klein may find this book of
great interest. Those who are new to this approach may be inspired to
delve deeper.
Roy Whenary has
made a long and exhaustive exploration into the nature of truth and
one's own identity as a human being. This book reveals the essence of
his search and realization, offers us the fruits of his enquiry and
points us towards an understanding which will lead us to the non-dual
state. Roy is a poet and his precise use of language is a model of
clarity.
Alan Jacobs

'The Texture Of
Being' is a profound insight into the human dilemma. We all wish to be
happy - and, for many, that might simply mean to survive in this mad,
mad world, where we can go to the moon and yet cannot solve our own
personal and political problems. We perpetuate suffering in the process
of creating a comfortable life for ourselves. We want happiness, which
for many of us means having and gathering more. But what we really want
is to have a good life, to have a sense of physical and material
well-being. Humankind is very ill at this crucial time in history, when
we could be on the brink of destruction ................ Roy's book is a
way out of this dilemma. Read it and enjoy the nectar that flows from
each page.
