Book Preview:

#1 We have been searching for an amazing life source, and we have given it many names: Truth, God, Peace, Source, Love, True Nature, Enlightenment, Unity, or Spirit. But the simplest name is awareness. It is the foundation of living a human life. We cannot know anything without it.

#2 Awakening is a shift in our identity and a shift in our way of knowing. It begins with shifting out of the way we organize our current mind and identity, which is creating ignorance and confusion. We can learn how to shift out of our thought-based mind and into an awareness-based way of knowing.

#3 When we discover the important ability to step back into awake awareness, we are no longer identified with our worried thoughts and fearful emotions. When awake awareness is experienced as inherent within everything, we begin to feel unity with all life.

#4 The main obstacle to relief from suffering is our current identity, which is what Einstein called our optical delusion of consciousness. We can be liberated from feeling worthless by shifting into awake awareness.

Awakening is a shift in our identity and a shift in our way of knowing. It begins with shifting out of the way we organize our current mind and identity, which is creating ignorance and confusion. We can learn how to shift out of our thought-based mind and into an awareness-based way of knowing.

#3

When we discover the important ability to step back into awake awareness, we are no longer identified with our worried thoughts and fearful emotions. When awake awareness is experienced as inherent within everything, we begin to feel unity with all life.

#4

The main obstacle to relief from suffering is our current identity, which is what Einstein called our optical delusion of consciousness. We can be liberated from feeling worthless by shifting into awake awareness.

#5

When we shift out of ego-identification and into awake awareness, we feel that there is nothing we need to gain or get rid of in order to feel okay on the level of identity. We will not discover freedom and love by restricting our physical needs, creating a stronger, calmer, more focused mind, or trying to create security and success in the world.

#6

We can experience the deep stillness and aliveness that arise simultaneously. Silence and stillness are here now within you as you are reading this book. Awake awareness and its natural qualities are not connected to any specific place or person.

#7

We can get caught up in focusing on positive manifestations in the world as our goal. But if we don’t recognize awake awareness as the source of all manifestations, the positive manifestations can seduce us into believing external things that come and go are the source of our happiness.

The most common answer to how to access awake awareness is to sit in meditation for a long period of time. However, with the discovery of local awareness, we can immediately access awake awareness in any place at any time.
