Synopsis

Loss of Being deals with the core illness of modern Western consciousness-separation from Being, the living, unmanifest field of our existence. The separation leaves us empty, alienated, threatened, and in despair, producing the angst and desolation that characterizes the modern Western mind. This book is presented as a personal journey wrapped around a teaching. In 1985, Don Nix entered a time of personal crisis and emotional disintegration, which he defined as burnout. He and his wife moved to California and spent a year at Esalen Institute, then moved to San Francisco and joined a transformational work-school. In that experience, he discovered that burnout was only a symptom of his real problem, loss of Being. The book traces his ten-year experience in the work-school, and includes the teachings that took him back to health. It will appeal to those seeking healing from burnout, those looking for spiritual depth and meaning, and those in despair at modern life. A deep, almost desperate hunger exists in our culture for fresh and grounded spiritual insight. This book speaks directly to that longing.
