Synopsis "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.

Douglas Edison Harding (1909–2007) was an English philosopher and mystic, known for his innovative approach to consciousness and self-perception. After a transformative experience in 1943, he developed the concept of "headlessness" (headless), a metaphor to describe the direct experience of non-duality and the absence of ego. This approach became the core of his spiritual and philosophical teaching.

Among his most notable works are Living Without a Head, The Hierarchy of Heaven and Earth, To Be and Not to Be, That is the Answer, and The Trial of the Man Who Claimed to Be God. Harding also founded the Sholland Trust to spread his method of self-discovery, known as "The Headless Way," which includes practical experiments to explore the true nature of being.
