Dancing Beyond Thought: Bhagavad Gita Verses and Dialogues for Awakening
Layer by layer the self who “I” thought I was falls away in the sonicand semantic realm of the Gita. Rather, “I” see, chanting, that these
aspects of my self that I held so dear, that I would ight for with allof my passion, were never there in the irst place, like the top step
in a long staircase that only my foot imagines to be there, and it comes down on nothing at all but the landing with a thud.In the silence that ensues, there is space only for laughter. Bydistilling the seven hundred Gita verses down to this deeplyresonant quintessence of sixty, Weber has remixed a potent 
brew into just the stuff for the infoquaked present in love with
complexity, bent over its phone, wondering about everythingbut the present moment and the nature of self. He shows us thetreasure beneath our feet, the awareness right where we are.From the foreword by Richard Doyle, Author of

call for us to come home.”Richard Miller, PhD author of 
Yoga Nidra:The Meditative Heart of Yoga
who has reached this goal, and rarer still to ind such a one who
has been so immersed in worldly life.
With this book, Gary has successfully integrated his profound
realization with traditional non-dualistic teachings, as well asinsights from Zen Buddhism and modern brain research, intoa practical path that uses Yoga’s time-tested practices of asana,pranayama, chanting and meditation to illumine a path toenlightenment for the modern reader.”Gary Kraftsow, author of

and
Yoga for Transformation
 “Gary Weber offers a treasure chest of practices for the serious
practitioner seeking liberation. On your own journey towardsawakening, savor these simple, easy to follow practices culled from
Weber’s study with his primary teacher Ramana Maharshi, his on-going exploration of Zen meditation practice, and the life-enhancing
results of his experiments on the laboratory loor of his yoga mat.”
Amy Weintraub, author of 
Yoga for Depression
“I’ve had the wonderful privilege of experiencing Gary in actionover many years both as friend and teacher. Gary is the raregem who points directly to what we really are at the heart of ourbeing—timeless Presence—ever-present Stillness that is alwaysimmediately available; yet which we fail to recognize because
of our over-identiication with the changing circumstances of our lives. Gary offers us a fresh view, based on his irsthand
experience of the paradox of enlightenment: that while there
is nothing we can ultimately do to awaken to our timeless
Presence, there are exquisite perennial practices of ‘non-doing’
that prepare the ground and clear the way for awakening. Garybeckons us to awaken from our dream of separation and realize
