To Those Interested in Enlightenment

 

My opinion is that anyone who is interested enough in the subject to want to know more about enlightenment must be very smart overall.

 

This book is oriented to those people who are trying to learn what enlightenment is all about, and want to better understand what it is, and how to get there.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What is Enlightenment?

 

The most popular image in the west about Enlightenment was the character Tyrone Power played in the movie “The Razor’s Edge” made in 1946 and was remade with Bill Murray in 1984.

 

The story is of a man looking for fulfillment who finally goes to India. There he finds an Indian Master and stays there for years. He lives in the mountains for a long time and finally becomes enlightened.

 

It takes years of commitment and is really a lot of work. Most of us would say “That’s nice but I’m pretty busy now and I don’t want to take all that time out of my life”.

 

On TV we all  pictures of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi  or other spiritual teachers and prophets who have large organizations and students who study with them for many years. They are famous for their teachings and well respected by leaders in business and government.

 

They must really understand enlightenment and it must be a really intense experience, right?

 

Christian monks live in Monasteries most of their lives. Occasionally we hear about one of them who is so saintly that he is renowned throughout the land. It seems he must have prayed everyday for years to finally reach peace with God.

 

Many of these stories may have some truth in them, but they foster a serious misunderstanding about what Enlightenment is and how to get here.

 

Enlightenment is Different than Most People Think

 

From my own personal experience and what I have learned, I think there is a big misunderstanding by many on what really happens when a person is enlightened.

 

The individual may not have a cosmic consciousness experience, and it may not happen all at once but gradually.

 

In fact I believe the following:

 

We are already all enlightened but we have to realize this deeply.

 

Fully understanding the above statement is half the battle.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Illusions are a Main Part of the Problem

 

I’ve written about Illusions elsewhere such as my book “Removing Illusions to Find True Happiness”.

 

Our Illusions about ourselves and our world are caused by our Ego.

 

By removing those illusions and getting closer to our eternal spirit, we start to reach higher states of enlightenment.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Why should you read my Book on Enlightenment?

 

When you read my book you will get a full overview of realization: the history, what it is, how it works, and how to do it.

 

In my book you will learn the following:

 

· The history of the search for enlightenment

· Misconceptions of what enlightenment is

· A theory of how our spirit, energy, and physical bodies work together

· How the Ego blocks our realization

· Learning the importance of Stillness

· Meditation and Stillness techniques

· Additional Steps to reaching Enlightenment

· Personal stories of enlightenment

 

Overall, you will find in this one book a condensation of writings and advice that might take years to learn independently.

Text Box: Many Sages, Saints, enlightened persons, and books of wisdom claim that the greatest illusion of all is that the reality we perceive is really a dream. 

When we can learn to escape from the dream then we can better understand ourselves and the universe we live in.

There are many quotes I can refer to on the illusionary nature of reality such as:

Heaven in Earth .. confined to the deep unconscious realms ..
Consensus belief says that what you see and what you feel is your reality.- Shamballah 

We know that there is not one space and one time only, but that there are as many spaces and times as there are subjects.-Jacob von Uexkull 

You are the entire universe.
You are in all, and all is in you.
Sun, moon, and stars revolve within you- Swami Muktananda, 

And the Ashtavakra Gita, a highly venerated Indian text, states: 	 
	The Universe produced phenomenally in me, is pervaded by me…
	From me the world is born, in me it exists, in me it dissolves.
