What is Reflections of Being: To `I` or not to `I` about?
Personal, reflective, and gently investigative, these early essays have a raw, fresh quality which predates the more formal theory and practice ofPeter Ralston's two popular books, The Book of Not Knowing and Pursuing Consciousness. Many of the questions we might struggle with in lifeidentity in relation to others, authenticity in the face of belief systems, the draw we have to pursue ineffective self-serving urges, and our tendency to conceptualize rather than experience thingsare described here in simple, almost conversational language. Attempting to grasp what authentic knowledge is, Ralston's queries become a quest for how humans can develop a deeper sense of themselves as participants in the world.
