In Memories of Now: On Non-duality and the Permanence of the Present, Han van den Boogaard weaves an insightful and sometimes poignant exploration of consciousness, childhood and nature—the depths and the shallows of experience and “the transparent world of unequivocal simplicity that I seemed to have lost somewhere in my youth. What seemed divisible became indivisible again, and at the same time I knew that it had never been lost.” “This book is not about me, not about my travels, memories or spiritual experiences. Together these only make a two-dimensional picture that might contain a three-dimensional truth if you’re able to look at it with an open mind and a loving heart. The picture itself doesn’t really matter. The important thing is the switch from flat to deep. Unknowingly, you make this switch many times a day, during those moments in which you suddenly forget yourself. But when you’re really aware of it, the true depth of life will be recognised as the unchanging Now, and you will know that this is the only truth.” —from Memories of Now
