Sample Book Insights:

#1 Enlightenment means waking up to what you truly are and then being that. It means realizing and being, realizing and being. realization alone is not enough. The completion of Self realization is to act, do, and express what you realize. This is a very deep matter.

#2 When I became the Oneness of everything, I also became the consciousness or spirit that woke up out of all identification. When the Oneness disappeared, there was still a basic awakeness, but it had two different aspects: I'm everything and I'm absolutely nothing.

#3 When we really start to take a look at who we think we are, we become very grace-prone. We start to see that while we may have various thoughts, beliefs, and identities, they do not individually or collectively tell us who we are.

#4 The biggest barrier to awakening is the belief that it is something rare. When this barrier is dropped, or at least you start to tell yourself that awakening is difficult, then everything becomes available to you. When you start to take in this awakeness, it is mind-boggling.
