Here is the blurb that goes with the book:

A Handbook for the Spiritual Journey II lays out for the interested reader the nature of the path which was first stated in Deuteronomy 30:12-14--"This commandment that I give you today is not too difficult for you or beyond your reach. It is not in heaven that you should need to ask, 'Who will ascend into heaven to get it for us and proclaim it, that we may obey it?' And it is not beyond the sea that you should need to ask, 'Who will cross the sea to get it for us and proclaim it that we may obey it?' But the word is very near you--it is in your mouth and your heart that you may obey it." 

We already know what we seek. No one has to tell us what we are looking for. The spiritual journey is simply a matter of dropping into emptiness, stillness, silence (One thing, not three) and waiting "for the mud to settle and the water to clear," that is to say, for the clarity required to see, hear, know and understand what arises, emerges, appears, and becomes clear in the emptiness (etc), namely, what is called for here, now, and needs to be done, when, where and how it needs to be done, in each situation as it arises, moment by moment. No one needs to know/do more than that. Jesus and the Buddha could not do more than that. That is all there is to it. So, go! Do it!
