Synopsis
Non-attachment is a principle of central importance to the spiritual life. In Eastern thought it is recognized as essential to the attainment of enlightenment, in Western thought it surfaces in the writings of the great Christian mystics, particularly in the books "The Imitation of Christ" and "The Cloud of Unknowing" - both of which are discussed in this book. Non-attachment is a perennial truth, and its greatest modern exponent was Gurdjieff, who blended Eastern and Western spirituality. From these works the author draws a number of lessons and exercises.
