"A stunning book, which I found enthralling … a journey so vividly expressed and so seductive that the reader takes it all in easily and hungrily. Above all, I love the bravery, curiosity and honesty that streams from this immense adventure … A really remarkable and compelling book, full of wisdom, humour and beauty."

Dame Joanna Lumley

"Wholly unique and transformative : Limitless Sky is beyond a book. It is a rich and life- changing collection of knowledge and anecdote that can, if one truly embraces it, utterly transform a limited perspective of life. David has done a great service to humanity in meticulously transcribing the jhankri’s philosophy and so vividly recounting the wisdom imparted by the various other individuals he encountered on this Indian Iliad.

 

 

It is part novel, part encyclopedia and part spiritual text. It is erudite, humorous, sensual and provocative. It is full of insights that generously contribute to an essential discourse about how we might make sense of this ‘living’ that we are all united by and to articulate how we might obliterate the perceived differences that keep us detached from our true natures.

​

But most of all Limitless Sky is a profound work of art... It seems clear that David embarked on this odyssey of awakening initially for personal reasons but he has ensured that the fruits of his journey are now out in the open for us all to ingest and be nourished by. Perhaps it was with an unwitting sense of what he was to become that he first met this shaman, but in skillfully recounting his travels, he has delivered a powerful gift for us all to vicariously be changed by. A change that begins with words on a page and with digestion and an open heart has the power to ‘enrich the ordinary’ and utterly shift the standpoint of our daily lives.

​

I closed the book with increased fervor to ruthlessly examine the choices I am making about how to use what time remains of my own life, and that of course will have an effect on all those I come into contact with.

'It is wondrous, all this, all you, all me.' – Limitless Sky"
