Expanding worlds of imagination, May 29, 2009
This review is from: Mouches Volantes - Eye Floaters as Shining Structure of Consciousness (Paperback)
This fascinating and absorbing work floated serendipitously into my consciousness and I'm so glad that it did.
When I first laid eyes on it, I thought it was going to be a single-focused philosophical treatise on the mysterious visual "floaters" that appear before our eyes during various states of consciousness (hint, hint). Well, it's certainly that, and much, much more.
"Breaking Through" combined with "The Lessons of Don Juan" is an apt description...but then it's much, much more.
This highly thought-provoking and thoroughly captivating story features an explorer of consciousness and his ongoing dialogues and experiences with a "seer." As the protagonist loses himself in the intricacies of refurbishing a magical piece of furniture, his consciousness undergoes deeper and deeper transformations. He takes a Thomas Mann-like spiritual journey that ultimately fulfills the reader at many levels. The book serves as a model or metaphor for viewing the world through different perspectives and striving for cognitive "wholeness."
This is a book to be read slowly and savored. Special philosophical nuances and insights will emerge as you digest each scrumptious chapter.
The characters are endearing and get inside your soul. The vivid descriptions of place and setting will make you feel that you are actually there in the European mountains. This is a warm, compassionate and enlightened work that brought tears to my eyes in the final chapter.
Bravo, Sir Floco!!!

Rare View into an Esoteric Spiritual Path, August 9, 2009
This review is from: Mouches Volantes - Eye Floaters as Shining Structure of Consciousness (Paperback)
I first learned of the esoteric meditative significance of eye floaters from my Tibetan tantric teacher in the 1970's. He never presented practices associated with them, however. My long-standing curiosity about them made reading Floco Tausin's book, Mouches Volantes, a delight.
Mr. Tausin's "novel" is engaging, humorous, and thought provoking as he details his character's journey to awakening following the path of meditating on Mouches Volantes. I heartily recommend this work to anyone yearning to contact the hidden mystery of our seemingly solid outer life as it is shaped by our inner structures of consciousness."

4.0 out of 5 stars
Of the genre of Carlos Castaneda, May 21, 2009
This review is from: Mouches Volantes - Eye Floaters as Shining Structure of Consciousness (Paperback)
"Mouches Volantes by Floco Tausin is a rigorous account of one young man's journey into himself and the fabulous opportunity we all have to become our seed of greatness. His spirit leads him to a community in the beauty of the Emmental where a gifted seer becomes his patient and loving guide. Floco as a reluctant student, opens to what destiny has in store for him. This a Carlos Castaneda tale of wonder and luminosity.
Reading this material will work on and uplift your consciousness. Expanding our perceptions and awareness thru consciousness is all that Humanity has to look forward to--it is the ONLY frontier for us."
