Produktbeschreibung
Jim Galbraith hits first with a puzzling title, The Freedom of Unknowing. He hits hard with the perplexing suggestion that what we refer to as "I", "me" or the "self" is illusory! Finally, Mr. Galbraith hits often, with a direct personal account of living in unknowing, living in that freedom which cannot be described or understood; living free of the "I". Jim lived through childhood and most of his adult life not only believing, but feeling, that what we all commonly refer to as "I" was real. He felt real in all aspects, and it appeared that the rest of the world concurred with the same ideology. The crux of this book is an account, in no special order, of Jim's life after the apparent collapse of this seeming self we all refer to as "me" The author creates no story line, does not teach, gives no direction, and offers no self help; yet, what is said is thoroughly captivating. One wants what he seems to have and wants it badly! The preface and introduction expose the illusion of the "I". The book begins with Jim's life problem. He feels he was never smart enough. He is in conversation regarding this seeming misfortune. The conversation is absolutely intriguing. There are questions and comments which are centered and in italics; with answers and comments in regular font and not centered. The conversation is mesmerizing. 'Jim' is not there, but a person named Jim is answering questions and making comments. He is there, but not there.

Autorenporträt
Jim Galbraith is an American living in Kitsap County in the state of Washington. He received his formal education at Lewis & Clark College in Portland, Oregon. He has been a teacher, toy maker, salesman, actor, factory worker, bus driver, pipe fitter, production manager... the list goes on. He has been religious, followed a guru, been here now, done self-enquiry, smoked ganja, been a vegetarian, lived in an ashram, "dropped out", dropped in, investigated the nature of the universe. He never found what he was looking for. Miraculously and mysteriously that all apparently changed with a non-experiential recognition that there was no "I" or "me" or "Jim" to find what was seemingly being looked for!
