ISNESS
When Only the Silence Remains
by Patricia Gray

---

“There is no higher teaching than silence.” This is just one of the profound insights found within the pages of this book. Isness: When Only the Silence Remains is an extraordinary collection of reflections, or “pointings,” intended for advanced seekers who feel drawn to nondual teachings and possess a fervent desire to explore the true nature of reality unfiltered by their mind. To finally see through the illusion of separation and discover what they truly are beyond name and form…to recognize their most fundamental nature as Pure Consciousness. In her late twenties, Patricia had a spontaneous, unsought glimpse into what she refers to as the ISNESS – or the essence of Pure Beingness. This experience further awakened her interest in Eastern Mysticism and led her to the teachings of Sri Ramana Maharshi and Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj, whose words immediately “pierced” her heart and to whom she remains deeply grateful. The wisdom that Patricia shares throughout this book is a reminder that we are all an integral part of the One Indivisible Whole. The unfathomable Mystery.
