Now ... Authors' Comments:-
The book (The Texture Of Being) explains the basis of spiritual seeking
in simple terms and may lead the reader to a more intensive quest.
Ramesh Balsekar (author of numerous books, including: 'Consciousness
Speaks', 'Who Cares?' and 'Pointers from Nisargadatta Maharaj')
This is an absolute gem of a book.
Written in a smooth and yet elegant style, `The Texture of Being' is
essentially a meditation on the nature of our true selves - the
unlimited, timeless consciousness that unites all beings as One. Devoid
of the technical language that normally hallmarks many texts on advaita
(or nonduality), Roy's book considers the way in which we can balance
living in the world with the knowledge that, despite all the stresses
and strains of everyday existence, life is essentially a manifestation
of something greater, untainted by suffering and change. And access to
this underlying ocean of peace, of oneness, is available to all of us,
right here, right now. `The Texture of Being' is a beautiful book and
well worth savouring time and again.
Paula Marvelly (author of 'Teachers Of One')
In his
book 'The Texture Of Being' Roy speaks
in a simple, but deep, language. The main message is a wonderful and
very relaxing one: we do not need to search for our true being ... we
already are it! .....
I
enjoyed the relaxed feeling of this book: the Advaita message has no
'must', no 'for sure', no 'never' and no 'always' .....

The Awakening Of The Inner Teacher')

'The Texture Of Being' points directly to the ineffability of
"what is". It's a clear invitation to openly embrace your humanity in
the light of who you really are ... deep down.
Chuck Hillig (author of 'Enlightenment for Beginners', 'The Way IT Is'
and 'Seeds for the Soul')
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
(Chairman of the Ramana Maharshi Foundation, UK)
The Texture of Being is
recommended for those becoming familiar with self-inquiry and the
literature of nonduality. Whenary speaks as a knowing, trusted friend or
guide. His theme is how to practice Advaita in daily life. To develop
the theme, Whenary's treatment of Advaita calls for feeling the texture
of being, "the silent rhythm of your true nature," in all of life's
situations. That's the hook of the book and it is free of philosophy,
analysis, a method, a list of important points to remember, a mantra, an
inquiry.

'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.
Eddie Shapiro
(Co-author: 'Unconditional Love',
'Voices From The Heart',
'The Way Ahead' and
many other titles)
Roy is a man of enormous integrity and commitment,
and this book has emerged from his depths of exploration - an accessible
and admirable addition to the genre.
Malcolm Stern
(Psychotherapist, author of 'The Courage to Love' and co-presenter of UK
TV Channel 4's 'Made For Each Other')
A practical guide to living the spirit of non-duality
amidst the vicissitudes of the apparent world. Roy appeals from the
heart directly to the heart for us to recognise our true nature and
abandon once and for all the traditional pursuits of pleasure, prestige
and prosperity, which can never lead to happiness. Instead, we should
open ourselves up to the silence and clarity, there to discover the
beauty and fulfilment of the reality that is already here and now.
