Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learn to let go of the illusions of the ego and discover the real you with this collection of inspiring quotes on the ego, mind, and spiritual enlightenment from human-consciousness expert Dr. David R. Hawkins. Are you willing to let go of seeing yourself as the ego believes you to be? Are you willing to go further, to know that the ego itself is an illusion? In this book, select teachings from Dr. David R. Hawkins’s extensive body of work will guide you in the process of realization, surrender, and transformation. When we let go of the old ways of thinking, our attachments, and the false promises of the ego, we discover the truth that we are one with All. Features classic passages, including: It is not really necessary to subdue the ego, but merely to stop identifying with it. Every life experience, no matter how “tragic,” contains a hidden lesson. When we discover and acknowledge the hidden gift that is there, a healing takes place. Enlightenment is not a condition to be obtained; it is merely a certainty to be surrendered to, for the Self is already one’s Reality. It is the Self that is attracting one to spiritual information. To be enlightened merely means that consciousness has realized its most inner, innate quality as nonlinear subjectivity and its capacity for awareness. The only energy that has more power than the strength of the collective ego is that of Spiritual Truth. “This book is small in size, but it can have a massive impact on your life. It will take you through the process of a total transformation of consciousness—if you choose to apply its teachings deeply within yourself.” — From the Introduction by Fran Grace, Ph.D.

Book excerpt: Mystical Oneness and the Nine Aspects of Being presents an entirely new approach to spiritual enlightenment. Rational, down-to-earth yet heart-centric and loving, Wayne Wirs takes you straight through the Gateless Gate of enlightenment... and into the mysterious realms beyond. Each of the Nine Aspects of Being provides a unique opportunity for spiritual growth and lasting happiness. Soon you will: Revel in a new appreciation of your body (the Mortal Aspect) See through the illusion of the Me-Story (the Inner Ego Aspect) Converse from love rather than the ego (the Outer Ego Aspect) Lose the fear of death (the Soul Aspect) Transcend your self-boundaries and experience oneness with the world (the Witness Aspect) Awaken to Cosmic Consciousness (the Mystic Aspect) Live both in the world AND of it (the Self Aspect) Transcend the paradox of unity and separation without conflict or excuse (the I AM Aspect) Live in a state of Divine union while still maintaining your individuality (the TaoGod(I) Aspect) The smart have their theories, but the wise have their scars. Most books on enlightenment are like diet books: They promise fantastic results... but they rarely deliver. Why? Because simple solutions (all you have to do is drop your self!) seldom work with complex problems (what exactly is this 'self' anyway?).What if, instead of the typical all-or-nothing approach (you're either enlightened or you're not), we break the sense of self into smaller, easier to work with aspects? Instead of struggling to drop a stubborn and tenacious ego all at once, we allow it to fade away one step at a time.As the ego gently fades-as we become less-self boundaries collapse and enlightenment is realized.But enlightenment is probably not what you think it is. It isn't the feeling of oneness with the world-that is a result of enlightenment. It isn't the feeling of bliss-that too is a result. It isn't the loss of the Me-story-that's another result of it. Wonderful results for sure, but focusing on results instead of the cause is why most nondual teachings fail.In early 2016, we found out exactly what enlightenment was. As it turns out, enlightenment-like playing a musical instrument-is a skill anyone can learn.But it doesn't stop there. The Witness Aspect-enlightenment-is only one of the nine aspects revealed in this all new approach to spiritual awakening.Rarely discussed in spiritual texts is what life is like on the other side of enlightenment. When the ego dissolves as enlightenment is realized, vast new realms open up before the spiritual seeker. Realms filled with Love and Unity. Of the Self and the Divine. Of the Absolute and the Relative. Realms where Cosmic Consciousness awakens while individual consciousness continues. These are realms filled with paradoxes and profound truths. Realms which, until now, few have ever reached and even fewer have learned to navigate.Mystical Oneness and the Nine Aspects of Being provides over three dozen practices specifically tailored to open both your mind and your heart. Practices which will help unify your many disparate parts (the personal and the impersonal; the rational and the mystical; the individual and the Divine...) into a whole and integrated You. Simply put, Mystical Oneness and the Nine Aspects of Being is a step-by-step guide to enlightenment and beyond.

Book excerpt: It's no wonder that The Power of Now has sold over 16 million copies worldwide and has been translated into over 30 foreign languages. Much more than simple principles and platitudes, the book takes readers on an inspiring spiritual journey to find their true and deepest self and reach the ultimate in personal growth and spirituality: the discovery of truth and light. In the first chapter, Tolle introduces readers to enlightenment and its natural enemy, the mind. He awakens readers to their role as a creator of pain and shows them how to have a pain-free identity by living fully in the present. The journey is thrilling, and along the way, the author shows how to connect to the indestructible essence of our Being, "the eternal, ever-present One Life beyond the myriad forms of life that are subject to birth and death." Featuring a new preface by the author, this paperback shows that only after regaining awareness of Being, liberated from Mind and intensely in the Now, is there Enlightenment.

Book excerpt: A diary kept by a boy in the 1790s sheds new light on the rise of autobiographical writing in the 19th century and sketches a panoramic view of Europe in the Age of Enlightenment. The French Revolution and the Batavian Revolution in the Netherlands provide the backdrop to this study, which ranges from changing perceptions of time, space and nature to the thought of Jean-Jacques Rousseau and its influence on such far-flung fields as education, landscape gardening and politics. The book describes the high expectations people had of science and medicine, and their disappointment at the failure of these new branches of learning to cure the world of its ills.

Book excerpt: Free Spirit speaks as freedom, which is our Consciousness, the sweet essence of our lives. The freedom spoken here is an inner knowing. We cannot realize this liberation by catering to our bodies, emotions or minds. No, this freedom is spiritual; an altitude of perception that only arises when we are lighter than our surroundings. We can realize this lightness of being if we are willing to abide as Awareness and let go of the ego, the one who suffers mind. For this enlightenment to happen, a quiet mind is all we need. Why do anything for this, when only our stillness will suffice. Be silent, be still, be free. Within this book you will find answered and unanswered questions, humor, poetic prose, experimentation with consciousness and passages that illuminate the sense that we are more than our thoughts, emotions, senses, body and energy. Every word is sourced by the power of silent Truth. Without contradicting this source, the writing inspires our active participation in the realization of Spirit, as only our direct experience is of value to this awakening. For those of us who desire to be free, the author takes us by the hand and walks with us through the entire landscape of the egoic mind, until we reach its outer boundary. Here, we are invited to take a leap of Self-faith into simply being who we are right now... Free Spirit,

Book excerpt: In Evolutionary Enlightenment, Andrew Cohen redefines spiritual awakening for our contemporary world—a world characterized by exponential change and an ever-expanding appreciation for the processes of evolution.

Through five tenets for living an enlightened life, Cohen will empower you to wholeheartedly participate in the process of change as your own spiritual practice. Evolutionary Enlightenment not only makes deep sense of life today; it will show you how to play an active role in shaping the world of tomorrow.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Has self-improvement really improved the self? More than ever people are on a quest for self-improvement and enlightenment. People are "watching" their egos or losing their egos in order to find peace of mind or to get along better with others. And yet, the more we try to lose our ego, the more of it there is to lose. The more we try to make peace, the more we find conflict. It is exactly what happens when we try not to think of the number 3 and that is all we can think about. Our efforts seem to have the opposite effect and this is due to the way the left side of the brain processes information. Neuroscience discovered that the left brain makes up elaborate stories and convincing explanations. It is the left brain that makes up the most elaborate and convincing story of all, the story of who you think you are. And the more we try to get out of this story, the deeper we find ourselves in it because it is the function of the left brain to work on the law of opposition. Try not to be anxious and that's exactly what happens. Try not to worry and you will be flooded with anxious thoughts. And the same is true for self-improvement. The more we try to improve our story, the more the story needs to be improved. The left brain excels at these games even when it plays by pretending not to play. If I said that all attempts at self-improvement are futile, how would you respond? Would you reflexively think I'm wrong? Is there any way not to play these games of the left brain? Which part of your brain do you think is asking this question? This book was written for the ordinary person who has an extraordinary curiosity for who they are, how thoughts work and why they cannot control their thoughts. It is a practical guide that uses examples from my kids, favorite movies and TV shows from the 80s and 90s along with simple exercises so you can see for yourself if any of this is on track. While no special knowledge of neuroscience is required, you may understand many of the examples if you've seen an episode or two of Star Trek or Seinfeld. While this work is based on the teachings of Alan Watts and Eckhart Tolle it integrates the findings of modern neuroscience which surprisingly reveals a similar message. It is the desire for enlightenment that is the biggest block to happiness and peace, in fact, it is the only block. It is not until one gives up the quest to find oneself, improve oneself or be more spiritual, that one can ever find the peace they are looking for. And it is not your ego that gives up this quest, it is you. For more info please see my blog at http://worriedbuddha.com/
