House of Cards is a book for the more seasoned spiritual seeker, one that has perhaps reached the end of their tether, a little despondent and frayed around the edge, or perhaps just ripe to drop like the proverbial apple on the tree. It is the fourth book by Robin Moore, but unlike the first book The Blackbird a Conversation with Spiritual Seeker it is not so much a gentle chat over a cup of tea, but more like an uncomfortable series of questions you would rather not think about, let alone answer. It challenges the very ownership of concepts such as the mind and how our addiction to thoughts leads us to sleepwalk our way through life. It rips up any sweet spiritual notions of getting saved through any act of volition of your own, but always with a sense of humour and compassion. In addressing those questions, he hopes to skewer those illusions we hold so dearly and perhaps deal with the absurdity of that which we hold so lovingly that being that anything was ever ours to begin with.
