About the author
Ilie Cioara is the author of two related books on meditation, "The Silence of the Mind" (2011) and its follow-up "The Wondrous Journey" (2012), both published by Obooks. The books present his own approach to meditation and self-inquiry, developed, according to his publisher, without formal training in any established spiritual school or tradition. "The Silence of the Mind" lays out the core practice, while "The Wondrous Journey" extends it into questions of consciousness and daily life. Publisher copy compares his voice to Krishnamurti and Kahlil Gibran, a more poetic register than typical meditation manuals. The books are aimed at readers already familiar with contemplative or non-dual spiritual writing who are looking for a distinct, independent voice within that field rather than a step-by-step instructional guide.
