On Having No Head

'Reason and imagination and all mental chatter died down... I forgot my name my humanness my thingness all that could be called me or mine. Past and future dropped away... Lighter than air clearer than glass altogether released from myself I was nowhere around.' Thus Douglas Harding describes his first experience of headlessness or no self. First published in 1961 this is a classic work which conveys the experience that mystics of all times have tried to put words to.
