A unique and pragmatic look at awakening, free will, self-determination, fate and who we really are. A book that will stay with you. The clarity of mind shines brightly through every sentence of this book. Saltzman's ability to convey the most complex ramifications and subtleties of awakened consciousness is so free from conventional, muddled thinking, so free from cliché, so free from the taint of religious dogma and conventional ways of speaking about such complex matters, that This book stands out as a refreshing and enlightened exposition of awakened consciousness: an awakened understanding of what it is to be human. Before Saltzman experienced a deep awakening and decided to open his practice in psychotherapy, he had a career as an artist and photographer. He is known for his black and white photographs that are still exhibited and printed worldwide. This is also the case in 'The Ten Thousand Things': each chapter begins with a beautiful black-and-white image that fills the page. “When you lose interest in spiritual pipe dreams, your desire for a pain-free life will diminish. Then your attention stays where it belongs – not in some imagined, problem-free future, but in this moment, the only moment you ever have, the only moment you have to deal with and the only moment you really have to deal with can go. I think that simplifies things considerably. The wise among us enjoy and endure a fully human experience with an equanimity they cannot explain, though countless have tried.”
