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.
