Product Description
Sailor Bob Adamson's search came to an end in the mid 1970s with an encounter with Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj, the revered jnani of Bombay. Since that time he has shared his understanding with those who look for answers to the essential questions of life. This book is a compilation of dialogues with seekers who attend the weekly meetings with Bob at his home in Melbourne, Australia. Bob's words, delivered with a rare immediacy and authority, cut through the self-imposed barriers of the mind to reveal the freedom that is our original nature.

This review is from: What's Wrong with Right Now? (Paperback)
This book on Advaita is the simplest, clearest explanation I have read to date. Often repetitive but I think the continued clarification in simple laymans terms shines. I have read many books on the topic but this book seemed to "click" for me. It's also easier to read Bob's words than to listen on video clips. Definitely worth a read!

Stop, this is it . . .,
By Bruce McElhaney - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: What's Wrong with Right Now? (Paperback)
Don't allow your mind to be put off by the "Sailor Bob" moniker. He is the real deal. Over the years, I've read what seems like hundreds of books on higher consciousness and spirituality. Very few have offered the clear and direct message contained in this little book. This is the essence of, That I Am. Some may dismiss it as being over-simplistic and feel the need for a sledgehammer approach. Not necessary, or helpful. Do yourself a big favor and read the book. Then Stop, and be what you are.

~from a great 'tradition' comes a very ordinary teacher who destroys ignorance ~,
By Charlie Hayes "Charlie Hayes" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: What's Wrong with Right Now? (Paperback)
"What's Wrong with Right Now ...Unless You Think About It?" -by "Sailor" Bob Adamson "Sailor" Bob is, in a word, the Real Deal. Like his Teacher, Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj (whose Teachings were popularized in the book "I Am That" from Acorn Press), Bob points unwaveringly to what is Real ... Are you Present and aware? Can you ever say you do not exist? There must be awareness itself to say 'I am not aware!" At the same time Bob shows us what is NOT real. "Are you separate, an entity? Find it and show it to me." This approach is in the time-tested tradition called "Advaita," yet Bob steadfastly refuses the title of Guru and eschews the whole idea of a Guru and a Disciple as ignorance and duality. The guy is Bang ON. So what is a visitor or reader left with? Initially, A great and Wise FRIEND ... a Guide to the Reality ... beyond the dream of "me in a world." ULTIMATELY? Nothing at all. That is what we are ... No Thing. Arising as Every Thing. You are all that is. There is no actual "separation" unless there is a thought of separation ... and when the thought is seen as ONLY a though, like clouds in a perfect empty sky ...the seeker evaporates and it's all over. Then Livingness itself is a celebration. The word Advaita means "Not Two," which is a rigorous pointer to what Bob calls "One-Without-A-Second" or simply, THAT. All is That. That thou Art. I spent a few days with Bob in September 2005, and he left 'me' with no Guru, no Teaching, nothing to remember, and nothing to do. (Who would do anything?) In other words, Bob leaves us without US or ME or OTHER ... just AS That, which was sought since the dream of a separate person arrived at around age three. And that is That. Then as doubts and a stubborn refusal to look happened after I got back to California, a few phone calls with Bob (he is very generous with his time) and discussions with a few of his other students, "The Penny Dropped.) And a big laugh bubbled up as I relized there never WAS a penny or anywhere for dropping to happen. An now, alwways Now, nothing is wrong anymore, period. What an incredible gift from no one to no one. Get to Melbourne and see Bob if you can. He is a rare Treasure in a world of Half-Baked "Teachers of Oneness." With Bob, in person, via DVD or CD, and in this book (as well his other book "Presence Awareness), you may find that the seeker gradually (or suddenly) fades away, and what is left is Loving Being Awakeness, just this, and nothing else.

You will not find the simple truth stated so clearly anywhere else.,
By R. Calkins "2BTrue" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: What's Wrong with Right Now? (Paperback)
This is one of the most awesome books I have ever read and has prompted me to look for everything else Sailor Bob has written. The title alone is enough to meditate on and find a firmer footing from which to face this ever changing world of which we are a part. If the real truth is what you seek, you will find it on the pages in this book. In my heart, I wish everyone could have a copy to read over and over again. The world would transform into a much saner place.
