Pathway Out of Endless Searching and Suffering and into the Heart of Joy Filled Peace Nov 30, 2009
By John Hummell
"You Are Unborn" by Charlie Hayes is both a roadmap and a guidebook to the inner reality that is quite simply That which We All Really Are. It accomplishes the very difficult task of effectively using written words to point the reader into the thought and concept free essence of their very being.
It is written for all of those who sincerely seek liberation from confusion and suffering. The words flow naturally and directly from the essential heart of the author's Aware Presence in a tone and style that is both lovingly straightforward and profoundly transformative.
With a quick look at the Introduction you will find this sample:
"So this is a strange book. Rather than providing answers to the mind that are no more fulfilling than a picture of a good meal is satisfying to the body's hunger for nourishment, this book will point to the nature of the Real, and also point out the false assumptions that keep that Reality of Eternal Freedom from being known as who you are."
False identification with an assumed "me" and the thoughts and concepts that provide it with lifeless support lies at the core of human suffering. "You Are Unborn" guides us through the wasteland of our illusory, ever hungry little "me's" and into the deathless, infinite and lovingly radiant light of the pure Presence Awareness that is our true Home.
Be kind to yourself and buy, read and cherish "You Are Unborn."

Crystal-clear and no-nonsense. Nov 23, 2009
By Randall Friend
This latest book, "You Are Unborn", is another example of the direct and unflinching message from Charlie Hayes, a "guru" who fits no molds, a "non-teacher" who doesn't wish to add to your worldly knowledge, but wants to rip all your beliefs and assumptions of separation out at the root. Charlie is a master, using metaphor and honesty, in guiding the mind towards itself, to devour itself, to recognize its own futility. And in that recognition of absence of individual self, the Being which Charlie points to may be known.
Charlie graciously gives honor to his "teachers" John Wheeler and "Sailor" Bob Adamson, while his own expression stands authentically on its own. This book contains pointing and dialogs, quotes from both modern and ancient sources, as well as the unmistakable recognition manifested in this unique, loving and hard-hitting expression known as "Charlie".
Here is an example of the crystal-clear and no-nonsense writing:
"Being is incontrovertible, inescapable and non objective; the only "separation" from Being that ever happened or could happen is in language only, and language is dreamlike, insubstantial and powerless. There is no way out of Being and no way to attain Being. To "attain" requires "don't already have" and THAT is the false identification with a movement of Divine Energy ... we call that movingness a thought ... of an "I"... which we have made solid and real in our inadvertence and ignorance; The assumption of a separate "me" is JUST an assumption."
Once again, Charlie has provided a text which can sit comfortably beside any ancient classic writing. Between the covers of this or any of Charlie's books, Truth can be found but not as we expect it, or maybe even as we might want it. Charlie clearly points out that "...no answer satisfies the mind's search because in the final Truth there IS no answer. THAT is the 'answer!'"
Charlie Hayes provides no answers, gives no crutch to hold on to, creates no foundation for the spiritual seeker. In this void of separate-self-ness, Being may be recognized but not from afar, not objectively, not as something new. In Charlie's words, "It's about the rediscovery that there is no person and yet Being Is."

The Peace You've Been Seeking Is Here Nov 20, 2009
By JD Hazlewood - Author of "That Which Always Is" & "Peace of No Mind"
Charlie Hayes' latest piece of artwork is "You Are Unborn". The words come alive and present the most direct pointing to that Source that You Are.
The undying peace of your True Being is what is pointed to in this book. Charlie definitely has a style of putting into words that which cannot be put into words.
Instead of just leading the reading around in circles with a bunch of pollyanna platitudes, he cuts to the core of the matter and brings the reader face to face with Reality. Just start reading and literally lose your "self" in the pages.
If the search has had any meaning, it was to read
"You Are Unborn"; this may very well be the end of seeking!
I highly recommend getting this book, it's worth a million times the price!

The most potent pointers I have ever read!! Nov 30, 2009
By Alfred P. Koegler
Charlie Hayes has done it again! He points to who you really are with delicious determination! The book has many great questions from readers who are stuck in the "I" they think they are, and Charlie just absolutely destroys that belief. May truly well be the last book on non duality you may ever read. Highly recommended!!!
