You Were Never Born
This book contains a variety of writings, essays and pointers on the core theme of self-knowledge. It also contains an extended interview with John, which provides a good overview of the basic points. From the foreward by Annette Nibley:
John has titled this, his fourth collection of dialogues and pointers, "You Were Never Born," which speaks to the very first principle: the fact that pure nothingness is all that exists, and that all our personal problems and suffering are imaginary. John says, "You cannot speak of the birth of that which has no form or limits. We are that, and that has never come into form. So we have never been born." This simple truth is the bedrock underlying all the slippery layers of assumptions and projections that we try to heap on top of it. There is only the one truth, only the one principle, only the one which has no form or limits, and this is what you are. And that is the point to which John returns over and over again.
