If you are looking to directly experience your own awakening instead of reading about the descriptions from others, this book is for you. This is the book of all books. It points out a rapid and direct pathway to your own enlightenment as well as some of the ego’s trickiest tricks and how to transcend them. If you are ready, if you are truly ready for your own enlightenment, this is the book for you. It is not meant to be read like most books: for the intellect or spiritual ego to adopt nice concepts. It’s designed to be read to awaken the reader from the mind entirely.

If you’re looking for just one book to give you step-by-step instructions, you’ve found exactly what you’re looking for. If you’ve heard instructions like “Be your true Self” but you don’t know what that really means, not to mention how to actually do it, this book will show you exactly how.

An amazing book taking you step-by-step from normal human existence of suffering and identification with thoughts, to recognizing your true nature as awareness, to letting go and accepting life as it is, to finally experiencing and becoming one with the love of God.

Are you confused by the numerous types of meditation out there? There’s watching the breath, chanting, visualization, and more. There’s many types of valuable meditation styles, but what is most ideally geared towards awakening? Have you ever tried controlling the mind to make it go quiet? Have you ever wondered about the importance of proper posture in meditation?

In this book, Adyashanti answers these questions and more, providing a wonderful manual describing exactly what meditation is and what it isn’t, as well as his recommended meditative suggestions in order to most naturally let go of the ego and rest in your natural state of primordial awareness. In this book he focuses on the two main spiritual topics: Allowing everything to be as it is & Meditative self-inquiry.

If you are looking for a very simple and effective understanding of meditation and the proper attitude to take towards meditation, I highly recommend this book. It’s relatively short, very easy to read, and even comes with a CD including audio guided meditations by Adyashanti.

When your life feels like it’s actually crumbling down and it feels like all that you are is being ripped apart, this is actually a sign that you are being transformed as your ego is falling apart.

On the other hand, when we surrender to the process and allow ourselves to die, we can be reborn into a new life which arises from Spirit.

This book is an incredibly helpful guide to anyone experiencing a dark night of the soul or a break down in old illusions and ways of being in the world. You can read my full review of it here.

These books make a perfect introduction for anyone looking for their own truths, as well as for advanced students really looking to get into the heart of universal consciousness and enlightenment.

In the second half of the book, you are given nearly two dozen different processes which assist you in becoming clear about what you want and ultimately manifesting your desires.
