A mind that is fragmented and sees the world in terms of what is me and not me, good and bad, will be caught in endless conflict. Because externally, we are always trying to control what is “not me,” and internally, we always get perplexed trying to figure out whether our actions came from our “higher” or “lower” self. As Albert Einstein said: “We can not solve our problems with the same level of thinking that created them.”
This book will help you to understand:
- Why we have internal conflicts
- How does our ego trap us in undesirable circumstances
- How do our beliefs limit us
- Why thought-based teachings (Law of Attraction), or self-improvement advice don’t work
- How do we really get what we want
- Why is happiness so rare for us
- Who we are really
- What is the nature of existence
- What is the meaning of life
- How do we know if there is a God
- What is the process of spiritual enlightenment
Many
of us are starting to become tired of this game of life. We have been
comparing and striving all our life. But no matter how much success we
have achieved—we are still hollow and still have found nothing
fulfilling. We don’t even know if happiness exists because it is no
longer a living thing in our experience—it has become dead, as we only
know it as a concept or memory.
We have sought self-help advice,
philosophies, and religious teachings to transform ourselves but have
not gotten anywhere. We have made some superficial improvements—like
adopting a new mindset—but our core remains the same. We are still
competitive, still fearful, and we get disturbed all the time.
The
problem with all attempts at self-improvement is that we do not address
the fundamental problem, which is: who is the “you” who needs to be
improved? We do not see that the one who is making the improvement is
the same one who needs to be improved. The more we try to improve, the
more conflict we introduce, within and without. The more knowledge we
stuff in our heads, the more we become trapped in a conceptual prison of
reality. Inevitably, the more confused we get in life.
The book
guides the reader out of their distorted beliefs to experience reality
beyond the mind. When the deeper intelligence is allowed to flourish
without our mind's interference, then the game of life becomes
effortless.
