About the Book

Interest in practices like meditation, mindfulness, and yoga continues to bloom as people develop new appreciation for the benefits of mental calm and physical relaxation. Superficially these practices were designed to create a mood of mental stillness. But they were developed within a religious context whose intent went well beyond the establishment of peace. Stillness is only the prelude to deeper insight into the nature of awareness itself. Human beings are obviously blessed with many abilities not especially apparent in other creatures, one of which is a very heightened sense of self-consciousness. This means that we are aware, but simultaneously aware that we are; but this creates a condition which is fraught with conflict and ambiguity. Using thought to reflect upon experience ultimately serves to expand this sense of division, and our lives easily become a problem which we seek in vain to solve. The primary teachings of Buddhism and Advaita go straight to the core of this issue. Their ultimate goal is transformative insight into the nature of the "self" which is seeking a solution. We need to understand what self-consciousness actually is and why we become attached to it. And we must recognize the more immediate awareness that is immanently present in the background, clearly available for all to know. That discovery is at the core of spiritual liberation. This book attempts to lead you to your own discovery. Using information gleaned from science, psychology and biology, as well as excerpts selected from the writing of numerous excellent teachers, it attempts to clearly examine the nature and limits of human consciousness. Lastly, it is an effort that is informed by the unfolding of my own liberation, without which its value could not help but be diminished. Hopefully my words will strike a hidden chord with those who are already involved in contemplative spiritual practice. I encourage you to take the last step, to deeply explore the subtleties implicit in thinking and seeking. In so doing a new, magically open dimension of being can be revealed. The bounds of your own conscious mind can be utterly broken, and you will be surprised to see how little is actually needed to finally "arrive".
