As It Is

Tony Parsons

The content of Tony’s book is expressed perfectly by its title. His basic message is that all suffering is due to resistance, and freedom from suffering is a direct result of total acceptance of the present moment. The many words in this delightful book all point to that one truth… at times phrasing the same truth in many different ways helps to imprint it in the consciousness of the reader. Sometimes for me it may take a particular set of words to hit deep inside. For you it may be a totally different set of words. But once the words lead you to that awareness, they drop off as meaningless and all that you are left with is present moment awareness, total surrender to life AS IT IS.

Tony’s book took me on a nice journey to that place of surrender. I may have left it temporarily, but I know I’ll keep coming back to visit, to one day surrender and call it home.
