Opis

Consciousness is the source of life on earth and yet our understanding of consciousness is inadequate. We know something about the brain and the functioning of mind but we do not understand the nature of awareness and the pure feeling of being alive. This ignorance of consciousness constitutes a self-limitation which creates personal difficulty and conflict in the world. In a direct approach, the author investigates the nature of his own consciousness, and finds that individual, global and universal consciousness are different expressions of a single fundamental reality.
This realisation creates the opening for a wide-ranging self-transformation which transcends personal limitation. It is a dramatic and life changing work. CONTENTS
