A book designed to allow the reader to become 'A Light Unto One's Self' by direct investigation of moment to moment experience. This reveals 'awareness of Awareness', which the Buddha gave as the first facor of enlightenment, and more than this that (at the deepest level) one is this Awareness. Once this is fully accomplished then Self-Recognition has occurred

The aim of this book is to act as a stand-alone guide to, and practices for, realizing and loving the Source (Pure Consciousness)and is composed of new articles and replies to questions since the publication of 'The Simplicity of Awakening'.

This book has two aims, the first as a stand-alone guide to, and practices for, Awakening.

This causes us to see each other, and the world, through a murky filter of self-interest, self-concern, self-promotion etc. On Awakening one discovers that there truly is no separate self and so this filter is removed al...

This book shows how Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism and Buddhism view the place of humanity in the universe.
