Editorial Reviews
Excerpted from Psychology of the Observer by Rose, Richard. Copyright © [date]. Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved
This whole process is a retreat from error, not a planting of a postulation and then massing all of our forces to prove that postulation. It is taking zero, and building from zero.

The real thing
Of his many books and writings, this is the one Rose himself said "contains the secret." No serious spiritual seeker's bookshelf should be without it. But don't leave it on your shelf--read and re-read until the "secret" becomes self-evident. Then pass it on.
Read it and re-read it
It's a small book, but packed with philosophic insights that will keep your mind churning. Not a bunch of theory, either, but based on real experience.
A quarter-inch-thick book about Ultimate reality.
Here's my review:
The highest human skydive in history began in 1960 at 102,800 ft. From an open gondola dangling under a weather balloon, a man sweating inside a crude space suit stepped out and, while falling through near-space, became the only human to break the sound barrier without a vehicle.
Rose has a similar perspective. I believe this book will be out of reach for most people. I don't understand it all. But then, I'm not enlightened.
For someone (like me) who has followed a system, or, no system, on their own, 'The Psychology of the Observer' will be welcome.
Rose offers a practical approach to reaching a realization of "the Absolute state of mind pointed to by writers of enlightenment."
This is a very thin book, like the air from where the author is writing.
