Jeff Foster

We say "concept" as kind of catch word, and think that we personally are not falling into that trap.  We may think that we can handle concepts "lightly" and through that, we are still on the track of truth.  

Sure there has to be an interaction, maybe it is a part of "syncing" up or receiving.  But the whole idea of entertaining all the old questions, over and over again, gives them meat, subsistence and life, (where there is none).  The old model is a risky business.  

I have never heard Jeff give any weight to a conceptual explanation.  He cuts every one.  Even if he does it softly, nothing passes in tact.

 Somehow our luck was to have hosted Jeff in Chicago 2 years ago, on his first trip to America.

Maybe that was the first weekend hosted and videoed by Never Not Here.  We didn't know anything about broadcasting live on the web back then.  If fact, it was some weeks before we even had a web site, so everything was being prepared for Public Access TV.

We are deeply honored by the opportunity to serve Jeff, in spreading his words.

 Life Without A Centre is about the possibility that the lifelong search for 'something more' can collapse, and along with it, the sense of being an individual separate from the whole. It’s not an intellectual thing. It's a freefall into Intimacy. Totally beyond the intellect. Totally beyond words. And in that collapse, all religions, all philosophies, all ideologies, all spiritual teachings, paths and practices are rendered obsolete. This is not a rejection of paths and practices, but a movement beyond them. For those who are ready to listen, for those who are ready to lose everything and gain everything, for those who are ready to 'die before they die' and discover something beyond death, this is the possibility of total freedom, right in the midst of a very ordinary life."

 “Closer to a Hymn of Praise than anything else. An awed expression of love and wonder and joy. Comes very close to representing the paradoxical essence of being....   Many books of this ilk sit in lofty abstraction, exquisitely beautiful yet remote and inaccessible to the reader. An Extraordinary Absence remains intensely personal, grounded. It eschews mysticism, yet somehow captures the mystery of creation. A true feat."  - Josh Levin
