This is the most accurate description of enlightenment I've read so far. I really love the way he articulates the awakening process. Anyone who has tried to express in words what the awakening process is like, knows how difficult this can be. This is, by far the most accessible book I've read regarding this topic. I recommend reading this in tandem with periods of reflection and meditation instead of all in one shot.
I started off the #12intwo readathon today with some great non-fiction. Between Leaves of Grass and the tagged book my afternoon reading has been inspiring.

Until the whole world is free to agree with you or disagree with you, until you have given the freedom to everyone to like you or not like you, to love you or hate you, to see things as you see them or to see things differently—until you have given the whole world its freedom—you‘ll never have your freedom.

We don‘t come to nirvana by avoiding samsara. We don‘t come to heaven by avoiding hell or trying to sidestep it. We don‘t come to clarity by avoiding confusion. We don‘t come to freedom by avoiding that which is less than freedom. The truth is quite the opposite.

The ego does not awaken; the “me” does not awaken. We are not the ego; we are not the “me.” We are that which is awake to the ego and the “me.” We are that which is awake to the world, and we are the whole world as well, when seen from the true perspective.

What‘s more useful is to understand that to be disoriented is part of the process of awakening; it is natural to be disoriented, because everything is new. You are new, your perception is new, and your perception of everything and everyone has now changed.

What we call ego is simply the mechanism our mind uses to resist life as it is... It is the resistance to what is. It is the pushing away or pulling toward.
#philosophy #quotes
It‘s this yearning that underpins all spiritual seeking: to discover for ourselves what we already intuit to be true—that there is more to life than we are currently perceiving.

I just started it and I‘m loving it so far.
