​”You do not have to believe anything in order to be alive. Like the stars in the sky, this aliveness is present whether noticed or not, and when the contraction called “myself” relaxes sufficiently, the aliveness feels obvious and indisputable. That relaxation of the clenched “myself” feels like having been roused from a dream to find oneself alive and aware … What is, simply is, and cannot become anything. Each moment feels fresh, different from any other, and entirely unspeakable. The future never arrives. Enlightenment is a non-issue – not worth thinking about. One simply experiences what living human beings experience from moment to moment, and that’s it. And that is sufficient. “

In the midst of his career as an artist and photographer, Robert Saltzman experienced a sudden and profound awakening—a deep vision into the actual nature of "myself." That abrupt change in point of view, along with a subsequent long illness and slow recovery, changed the course of his life. He left the art world, obtained a doctorate in Depth Psychology, and began his practice of psychotherapy, a work he describes as "days in a small room, face to face with pain and suffering."

As an adjunct to his therapy practice, Robert established a website, www-dr-robert.com that featured his replies to questions about psychology, consciousness, and ordinary problems of living such as relationships, personality disorders, sexuality, mental illness, death and dying, etc. That site became the most popular ask the psychologist webpage on the internet and has welcomed over four million visitors.

In 2012, Robert moved his question and answer work to a Facebook page where it continues to this day. The Ten Thousand Things is a book of words and images about awakening, consciousness, philosophy, and spirituality. Forty chapters—each beginning with a photograph—based upon Robert's replies to questions posed to him on Facebook and in private correspondence. There is now a text-only version of The Ten Thousand Things and an extended Q&A collection entitled Depending on No-Thing.
