The Face Game

Douglas Harding wrote The Face Game in the late 1960s, then put it away in a cupboard. After Harding died in 2007 his friends found the typescript. Now, fifty years after he wrote it, we have the honour of publishing this book in paperback for the first time. The Face Game is 'classic Harding' - taking a fresh look at our identity, it is original, profound and beautifully crafted. And whilst Harding quotes extensively from tradition - he had a deep understanding of all the great religions - he appeals to our experience over and above all authority. Harding saw who he really was in 1943. In The Hierarchy of Heaven & Earth (1952) Harding explored how the discovery of our central Reality changes our understanding of our place in the universe. In The Face Game Harding extended that exploration further in terms of how consciously being the Self transforms our personal lives. Harding was a pioneer, a trailblazer guided by the Light he found at his Centre. Walk with him as he discovers the power of awakening to who we are - ceasing to play 'the face game', the game of being a separate person, we are healed at the deepest level.
